SPFL bosses have revealed the ticket allocations for next month’s Viaplay Cup final between Rangers and Aberdeen.
And pleas from Dons bosses for a 50/50 split in the gold dust briefs have fallen on deaf ears.

Instead Rangers will get access to approximately 25,000 tickets across the South, North and West stands for the fixture on Sunday 17 December.
The Dons will get 19,500 tickets in the South and East stands for the match.
They say ticket prices – with adults set to shell out between £39 and £49 – have been frozen from the match 12 months ago.
An SPFL spokesperson said: “Firstly, we would like to congratulate both Rangers and Aberdeen for reaching the Final of the Viaplay Cup after two fantastic Semi-Finals.
“Deciding ticketing allocations for cup finals is always a challenging task, as more fans invariably want to attend than the stadium can accommodate.
“We take a range of factors into consideration, including the number of tickets each club sells in the Semi-Finals, as well as their historic ticket sales in any previous League Cup Finals and Semi-Finals.
“In addition, the design of the stadium and its ability to split sections is a major factor which influences our decisions, together with input from safety and security authorities to ensure fan safety and appropriate segregation.”
The split is said to be “broadly the same configuration as Aberdeen received for their last cup Final in the competition, when they played Celtic in season 18/19”.
