The Ibrox Tribute Act are desperately trying to find a way to postpone Tuesday’s Champions League tie at home to Napoli.
On the back of two 4-0 defeats Giovanni van Bronckhorst has been spared a trip to Aberdeen tomorrow with all SPFL fixtures postponed this weekend.
A 10 day period of official mourning started at midnight on Thursday but tomorrow the Test Cricket between England and South Africa will resume with Rugby League fixtures going ahead as planned.
UEFA played on with three 8pm kick-offs on Thursday night but in a statement this afternoon the Ibrox club are clearly trying to get their match against Napoli, fresh from a 4-1 win over Liverpool, postponed:
AT this difficult time for the United Kingdom, we are cognisant of ongoing uncertainty regarding supporter arrangements and travel plans for next week.
We are aware of policing and resource pressures, especially on Tuesday, 13th September.
We can confirm that discussions are taking place between UEFA, Police Scotland and Rangers regarding our scheduled UEFA Champions League fixture v Napoli on Tuesday, 13th September.
As present, the game is scheduled to take place at the scheduled date and time.
No matches were postponed following the deaths of Walter Smith, Jimmy Bell or Andy Goram. Tonight at the SEC Ibrox fans can enjoy a booze up with Brian Laudrup and Paul Gascoigne.
