Rangers continued failure to pay the revenue from ticket sales to Dunfermline has now hit the East End Park side, with Dunfermline failing to pay their February salaries in full. Although the club have intimated that they have vowed to pay the remainder owed to their players and staff by Monday.
The Fife side are owed £80,000 from a match on February 11th against Rangers, but three days later the Ibrox side went into administration.
Dunfermline chairman John Yorkston told BBC Scotland last night: “I can confirm full wages were not paid. We have made other arrangements to get monies in and it should be all squared up on Monday.”
In an official statement, Dunfermline said: “Due to the continuing delay by the Administrators at Rangers in paying the ticket revenue from the game held at East End Park on 11th February 2012 it has been necessary to part pay the Club’s February salaries to all staff including management and players.”
Bill Hodgins, Chief Executive said: “by Monday all staff will have received 80% of their salary and we will be in a position to pay the remaining balance within ten days. Our staff are aware that this situation is out with the Clubs control and they have been extremely understanding and supportive. In the meantime the Scottish Premier League are in constant dialogue with the Administrator at Rangers in order to try and secure payment of our ticket income of £84,000 that was due on 21st February 2012.”

And the clown that is Yorkston was worried for Rangers’ plight? what a to**er.
Where is Alex Salmond? He spoke out urging support to keep Rangers in buisness but he’s quiet about all the companies who have lost out because Rangers went into administration.
I hope it doesn’t pull any other Scottish clubs down & put even more jobs at risk.
Yep, Scottish football “needs Rangers the great Scottich institution”.
Not only have they dug their own grave they seem determined to take as many with them to their deaths too.
Utterly reprehensible. And they have the gall to ask Celtic for tocket money up front 4 weeks in advance!
No Jasbhoy, he can see the bigger picture and obviously knew Rangers owed the money when the statement was made.
Mr Yorkston took over the club at a bad time, provides jobs, has many varied interests and creates wealth so what do you do in life that means you can call the man names?
He also is six foot seven so perhaps you will want to tell him to his face next time you see him.
