Rangers face bill from Aberdeen over damaged Pittodrie seats, claims BBC’s Richard Gordon
The BBC presenter's claim comes just days after some Celtic supporters damaged seats at Rugby Park during their side’s 1-0 win over Kilmarnock
BBC presenter Richard Gordon claims Aberdeen are set to send Rangers a bill for badly damaged seats in the away end at Pittodrie.
Around 200 seats were wrecked during Gers’ 4-2 win earlier this month, according to the Dons-daft Beeb host.
SunSport has asked Aberdeen and Rangers for comment.
His claim comes just days after some Celtic supporters damaged seats at Rugby Park during their side’s 1-0 win over Kilmarnock.
Speaking on tonight’s instalment of Sportsound, the veteran broadcaster said: “I hadn’t realised it was an SPFL regulation [Rule H40] that the visiting club had to pay for damage.
“I know for instance the most recent Aberdeen-Rangers game, there was about 200 seats damaged.
