A report in the Evening Times suggests that Rangers could lodge another official appeal.
On Tuesday, Kilmarnock announced that they were reducing the Gers’ ticketing allocation for their end of season clash at Rugby Park.
The visit of Rangers is usually a major payday, with away fans filling both the Chadwick and Moffat Stands. However, the latter is to be reserved for home supporters only.
Therefore, only 4000 Bears will get to witness Steven Gerrard’s sides last fixture of 2018/19.
Their chairman, cited a desire to ‘celebrate all things Killie’. Yet, neither that excuse nor the decision went down well with some Bears.
However, citing the SPFL rulebook, the Evening Times suggests the Gers could contest the allocation being offered.
Rule I27 stats that if clubs aren’t able to agree on a ‘reasonable’ away allocation, the SPFL board will make a ruling that is ‘final and binding.’

However, it seems unlikely that the Gers would be able to win any such appeal.
Even with the considerable cut, 4000 tickets is still a considerable chunk of Rugby Park’s 17,889 capacity. Over 22% in fact.
Slim chances of winning haven’t put Rangers off appealing decisions in the recent past, though.
