Why 'quite significant' detail was buried in Rangers statement after SFA charge
It relates to the disorder from that followed the Scottish Cup clash at Ibrox in March.
There were clashes on the pitch after Celtic beat Rangers on penalties in the quarter-final tie.
Celtic were given an allocation of more than 8,000 tickets, with this the first game in which visiting fans were allowed to attend the fixture en masse.
At least 37 people have so far been arrested over the disorder, which left a number of police officers and stewards injured.
The SFA has now released its written findings, to which Rangers - as well as Celtic - have responded.
Rangers and Celtic accused of 'unacceptable conduct'
The SFA accused Rangers and Celtic of breaching the governing body's Rule 37.
The pair are accused of "unacceptable conduct" and both now face a hearing on 13 August.
Rangers released a lengthy statement soon after the findings were made public.
The Gers accepted certain aspects of the report but also questioned others.
Indeed, speaking on Sky Sports News, reporter Gordon Duncan pointed out a "quite significant" detail some way down the statement.
"Both have reacted pretty quickly," Duncan said. "Rangers skipped down a bit in their statement to something quite significant.
"A pathway back to future large ticket allocations. Rangers say this was not part of the terms of reference of the report and does not reflect our position."
Indeed, Rangers said: "We have and will continue to raise concerns with the Scottish FA about significant aspects of the independent report.
"We are concerned about the description and limited examination of the decision to allocate around 8,000 tickets to Celtic, which materially changed the risk profile of the fixture.
"We raised safety concerns but were left in no doubt that the competition rule would be applied and the increased allocation was expected to proceed."
The Gers are making it quite clear they were not happy with the fact Celtic were given an allocation of around 8,000, given the magnitude of the fixture and the fact away fans have been banned for so long.
What next as Rangers and Celtic fallout continues?
This may have happened four months ago but the matter is not even close to being fully dealt with.
Following this report, and the respective responses, comes that aforementioned hearing next month.
An independent SFA judicial panel will then consider the review.
As well as both clubs, Police Scotland will also have a say, as will the Scottish Government and the SPFL.
Lessons have already been learned, though Rangers are more than justified with points made in their statement.
