    Football - Rangers make cup tickets pledge

    Rangers have declared they will donate any gate receipts from their William Hill Scottish Cup tie against Dundee United to charity.

    The club this week announced they would not sell any tickets for the fifth-round clash and urged fans not to travel to Tannadice after supporters groups called for a boycott of the February 2 game. The decision, and possible ramifications, was due to be discussed by the Scottish Football Association board today.

    In a statement, Rangers chief executive Charles Green said: "The club was contacted by Dundee United requesting us to waive our rights to the share of the gate under cup competition rule 46(c), this was declined."

    He added: "It has been decided by the board that any proceeds from gate receipts due to the club will be donated to the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice Brick by Brick Appeal and Erskine charities via the Rangers Charity Foundation."
