Scottish Cup draw forces Union Bears into a corner

After their petty walk out of Ibrox before the match against Raith Rovers the Scottish Cup draw has placed the Union Bears in an awkward position.

They either pipe down with their banner protests or watch the Hampden semi-final on the telly.

Some serious lines were being drawn in the sand during the Raith match as two versions emerged about the pre-match walk out.

Now there are the golden tickets of a match against Celtic at stake the Ibrox Ultras must decide whether they attend home matches on conditions laid down by the club or give up their Hampden tickets.

The Union Bears are always handed tickets for the front area of the West Stand at Hampden with other fans unhappy that one group seem guaranteed of tickets for big matches.

Before the semi-final there are home matches against Dundee United and St Mirren but with their cash flow issues the Ibrox club will be looking to charge fans for Scottish Cup semi-final tickets as soon as possible.
