Livingston’s match at Ibrox has been rearranged for tomorrow with a 3pm kick off!
The fixture was scheduled to be played today but was called off following a 12.30pm inspection with the pitch waterlogged.
Storm Dennis has played havoc with the pitch at Ibrox but the SPFL have announced that the game will go ahead tomorrow. The BBC weather forecast is for heavy rain to continue overnight before easing late tomorrow morning.

?| We can confirm that the game with @RangersFC has been rearranged for Sunday 16th Feb (tomorrow) at 3pm.
As a club, we tried to rearrange for Monday night to allow the weather to pass & fans to make alternative arrangements but, ultimately, the decision was made by the SPFL. pic.twitter.com/ofvEhKeKMZ

Livingston wanted the match to be rearranged for Monday night but have been over-ruled by the SPFL who have ordered the match to be played tomorrow.
Thousands of fans were already in transit when today’s game was called off, many will have travel arrangements to return tonight and tomorrow morning and afternoon.
There appears to be little threat to Celtic’s match at Aberdeen tomorrow, no rain is forecast but winds of 50mph are forecast for the area.
