If Rangers wanted to boycott, Dundee should have left them too it, not make a desperate grab for the money by trying to sell tickets on.
Hope it all goes smoothly though, the last thing Scottish football needs is to be in the press for fighting .”
As has been pointed out Dundee won't need to any of this, they're playing Morton this weekend.
I'm not sure other supporters realise this, but Dundee United have always kept away end tickets to sell directly to opposition fans when we play Rangers or Celtic with absolutely no problems. And given the amount sold it wasn't down to finance, we're only talking about a couple of hundred tickets. Not selling tickets to Rangers fans may have meant away fans in the home end.
Rangers fans will have one stand to themselves and the street entrance is only to fans with tickets. Unusually Tayside Police seem to have put in every measure possible to prevent trouble.
