The Jocks were due on Tyneside on August 6, but their failure to lift the Scottish title means they will now be otherwise engaged in a Champions League qualifying round tie.

The costly police operation was due to rioting by Rangers fans in Manchester on the night of the UEFA Cup final last week meant.

Manchester United scrapped their tour of the city to show off the Champions League trophy .... allegedly because of the damage done by Rangers fans.

But we can exclusively tell you the REAL reason!

As the Mancs had paid on average £1,500 per person to travel to Moscow for the final, the club thought it was not right they fork out another fortune to travel to Manchester.
