ian1964 10,447 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 RANGERS Football Club has today been notified by the SPFL that Tuesday’s away Under-20 League fixture against Celtic will not take place. The match has been scheduled to be played next week since early August when the fixture list was first published. Strenuous efforts were made by Rangers, including offering to reverse the fixture to Ibrox, to ensure that happened and dialogue between the club and the SPFL has been ongoing over the last week. This morning we were informed the game has been postponed with no reason given as to why Celtic failed to put proper arrangements in place to host their home match. Rangers will take this matter up with the SPFL to ask for an explanation of why the game will not take place. http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/5541-u20-derby-statement 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,447 Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Andrew Dickson @rfc_dickson 30m Interesting situation re Tuesday's cancelled U20 game v Celtic developing, would imagine we'll have more on that one as next week goes on Andrew Dickson @rfc_dickson 30m Shame the game is off without any explanation this far, Gordon Durie's side has been playing some really good stuff lately and scoring goals 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Weird! I certainly have little desire to play that mob, but it would be hoping for too much that they would, in a fit of self-righteousness noteworthy even by their standards, refuse to play us and gift us 12 points a season when we get back up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Or!, maybe they can't trust their fans to behave so close to the battle of Amsterdam? Bang on the money. If something were to go wrong it would be a PR nightmare, given the fact they are telling anyone who will listen - how bad they were treated in holland. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,447 Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Maybe that's the same reason Ross County never held a minutes silence before their game with the BHEASTS 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
