Green Brigade accuse Rangers of 'killing the derby' in banner blast

The Green Brigade have taken aim at Rangers for "killing the derby" with Celtic.

During today's 0-0 draw between Brendan Rodgers' side and St Johnstone, the ultras group unveiled a banner voicing their displeasure at the ongoing ticket allocation drama between the clubs.

Last week it was revealed that Ibrox would be full of home supporters only after Celtic rejected Rangers' offer of 708 tickets for the game. 

Despite Celtic's refusal to take the tickets, Rangers will expect to be offered the same for the return fixture during the festive period.

It follows on from the last two derby fixtures between the sides last season which saw no away fans in either Celtic Park or Ibrox for the game. 

Now, the Green Brigade has taken aim at Rangers over their stance on the matter, making it known that they want the old allocations of around 7,000 away fans to return.

Their banner read: "They killed their club. Now they are killing the derby. Bring back the old allocations".

Meanwhile, Ange Postecoglou had the TNT television studio in stitches after he reacted to an over-zealous technician adding a microphone to his shirt.

The former Celtic and now Spurs manager was appearing with pundits Peter Crouch and Joe Cole after a 2-0 away win over Bournemouth put his side top of the Premier League after three games.

Having been in the dugout for the match, he arrived in the studio without the requisite gear so was hooked up quickly while on camera.
