Rangers have hit out after their allocation for next month’s trip to Tynecastle was cut.
The Ibrox club have been handed just over 1000 tickets by Hearts for the lunchtime showdown on December 12.
Rangers say that is “significantly lower” than previous visits to Gorgie and have “expressed its disappointment” to their Scottish Premiership rivals.
The Light Blues haven't played at Tynecastle in the top flight since going down 2-1 almost two years ago in the season the season was cut short and the Jambos were relegated.
With fans eager for a return, Rangers admitted their allocation is nowhere near enough to satisfy the demand with a staggering 11,000 fans looking to travel across the M8 for a huge fixture.
And they have requested more briefs if Hearts can accommodate closer to the game with both sides having battled out a 1-1 draw at Ibrox earlier this season.
In a statement on the website, the club said: “Rangers can confirm that the away allocation for our match against Hearts on the 12th December is just over 1,000 tickets which is significantly lower than previous visits to Tynecastle.
“Rangers has expressed its disappointment to Hearts regarding this reduced allocation and requested additional tickets are made available if possible.
“The demand for tickets for this match is exceptionally high, with nearly 11,000 registrations received.
"This has created very difficult conditions for the ticket allocation process. In light of the small allocation and exceptionally high demand, we have decided to only ballot tickets within the Gold MyGers Membership tier.
"Rangers Supporters Clubs will receive an allocation for this match but in line with the smaller allocation we have received, it will unfortunately be a lower allocation than normal.”
