Rangers chairman David Somers has admitted the club announced a misleading attendance figure for Saturday’s clash with Cowdenbeath.

The club announced midway through the second half of the Scottish Championship fixture that 28,137 fans had turned out at Ibrox.That figure for Rangers’ 1-0 win would have been the Glasgow giants’ smallest home attendance for a league game since Graeme Souness’ first season in charge 28 years ago.But now Somers has said the true figure was 10,000 fewer than the number given out on Saturday.The acting executive chairman said: “The 28,000 included season-ticket holders who were not there. In reality Saturday’s attendance was around 19,000.”
