Barry Ferguson insists Rangers have got to be given an allocation for away fans at Celtic Park - and he'll be "absolutelty raging" if they don't.
A decision will be made this week week on whether Danny Rohl's men will have the backing of more than 2,000 fans in the Old Firm derby.
It was revealed last week that Celtic would only give Rangers tickets if they agreed not to sell to the Union Bears following the unrest that marred the end of the recent Scottish Cup quarter-final at Ibrox.
When Rangers chiefs rejected that approach, they were informed they were not receiving any as a result.
Rangers have taken the matter to the SPFL and a sub-committee will be convened to rule on the situation and determine what allocation should be handed over.

Ferguson gave his views to the Five Stars podcast, explaining: “I’d be absolutely raging if you don’t get that 2500 allocation. There’s an agreement in place. You’ve got to get the tickets. Rangers have got to get the tickets, plain and simple.”
Ian Durrant added: "Celtic are saying they don’t want a certain element – the Union Bears. Everybody is going to have to write their names down and say, ‘I’m not in the Union Bears’, to get a ticket. It’s ridiculous.
“Celtic are now pleasing themselves because they don’t want a crowd there. It’s helping them but you are depriving people of going to watch their team.
“It’s quite sad in this day and age, considering we bent over backwards to accommodate 7,500 at Ibrox. It could have been 8,000 with the way they all ran in the doors, right enough. We can accommodate them, but they can’t accommodate us? It’s quite sad.”
