Elgin City fined for tickets fiasco

ELGIN CITY have been fined £25,000 by the Scottish Football League – £5000 of which will go to a charity of Rangers' choice – and ordered to pay all costs incurred by the Ibrox club in the lead-up to their postponed Irn-Bru third division match on Sunday.

The match was cancelled by police on safety grounds after it emerged the club had oversold their Borough Briggs ground by approximately 1000 tickets.

Meanwhile, Charles Green, the Rangers chief executive, has re-iterated that the Ibrox club will not be rejoining the SPL while the threat of titles won by the oldco continues to hang over the club's head.
