Rangers were furious over the fiasco. An apology was made to the Ibrox club after Elgin accepted too many tickets had been printed and sold for the game, but 1,800 Rangers supporters were still out-of-pocket having committed to travel arrangements and hotel bookings. Rangers were due to travel north today.
