Dunfermline to bear loss of £80,000

Dunfermline Athletic have expressed extreme concern with the expected loss of £80,0000 in gate receipts they are due from Rangers but have indicated they will cope with the setback.

The Fife club, who were forced to close a section of East End Park earlier this season to offset the increased running costs of promotion from the first division, released a statement yesterday conveying their sympathy for the situation at Ibrox. Dunfermline are owed the money after hosting the SPL champions last Saturday, a match they lost 4-1.
