Thursday 1 February 2018 12:27, UK
A number of Rangers fans, who travelled up to see their Scottish Cup match with Fraserburgh, were turned away at the gate last night after the Highland League club accused supporters of using counterfeit tickets.
The away end was at full capacity, despite some Rangers supporters still queuing outside for the all-ticket clash.
Fraserburgh released a statement via social media last night explaining that no further fans would be allowed into Bellslea Park as it had already reached its 3000 capacity: "The capacity of the stadium is now full and we believe this is due to a number of counterfeit tickets in the away end.
"No further persons can be admitted. The club will hold an investigation and further details will be advised."
Fraserburgh and Rangers have announced they are working together to establish the facts after around 150 Rangers fans were locked out. The police are also involved.
Rangers were given 350 tickets for the Scottish Cup fourth-round tie, which they eventually won 3-0.
