Rangers have declared they will donate any gate receipts from their William Hill Scottish Cup tie against Dundee United to charity.
The club this week announced they would not sell tickets for the fifth-round clash and urged fans not to travel to Tannadice after supporters groups called for a boycott of the February 2 game.
In a statement, Rangers chief executive Charles Green said: “The club was contacted by Dundee United requesting us to waive our rights to the share of the gate under cup competition rule 46(c), this was declined.
“It has been decided by the board that any proceeds from gate receipts due to the club will be donated to the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice Brick by Brick Appeal and Erskine charities.”
Rangers fans groups called for a boycott of the tie after claiming United were an integral part of the decision to reject the newco’s application to join the Premier League.
Many Rangers fans had stayed away from Tannadice for a game in December 2009 after being charged an admission fee after the initial fixture was abandoned at half-time.
Relations between the clubs were also strained in February when United were not paid money due for their Scottish Cup clash at Ibrox, nine days before oldco Rangers went into administration.
