A ticketing company caught
up in the turmoil surrounding stricken Scottish champions
Rangers said on Thursday it wanted to help suitors who could try
to rescue the Glasgow club.
Ticketus provided more than 20 million pounds in funding for Rangers based on the right to sell
season tickets for coming seasons.
Rangers, Scottish champions a record 54 times, face an
uncertain future after going into administration and Ticketus is
seeking to ensure it does not lose out in any restructuring of
the club.
"We met with the administrators yesterday to make it clear
that we intend to be part of a solution for the club, and to
ensure a fast and fair resolution is achieved for all parties,"
Ticketus said in a statement.
"We outlined that this includes working with potential
purchasers to help provide various financing solutions to the
club that would be attractive to new owners," it added.
Rangers went into administration last month over unpaid tax
bills, losing 10 points and effectively surrendering their
league title to city rivals Celtic.
Administrators Duff and Phelps were expected to give details
of plans for cost cutting on Friday, with the playing squad
likely to be trimmed.
