RANGERS fans are facing season ticket hikes of around 20 per cent as the club return to the top tier of Scottish football.
The club has said it has decided to set the prices for watching the side in the Scottish Premiership in 2016/17 at levels similar to where they were when the Ibrox side last played in top flight alongside arch rivals Celtic in five years ago.
Details of the pricing emerged as season ticket renewals were opened for securing seats for football in the Scottish Premiership in 2016/17.
Rangers said the prices are no dearer than they were the last time the club was in top flight. One fan reported that his season ticket in the Bar 72 West had gone up from £787 to £945 and a pass in the Club Deck went up from £268 to £315.
Rangers sold 38,000 season tickets this season in the second tier of Scottish football, over 10,000 up on the previous season when some fans organised a boycott in a protest over how a previous Mike Ashley-backed board were running the club.
Rangers chairman Dave King had spoken of his desire to see season ticket sales soar to a record number of 45,000.
Rangers have said supporters have returned to Ibrox in “great numbers” since the regime change headed by Dave King who is said to be “confident” the stadium will be full as Rangers take their place in the top flight of Scottish football.
