Rangers legend Barry Ferguson reckons the board will know to gauge fan opinion before a repeat of the Sydney Super Cup climbdown.
After a furious reaction from supporters, vocal protests and a public row with fan group Club 1872 the club performed a U-turn on the Oz clash with Celtic.
Organisers have been left angered by the decision but Ferguson reckons it will ease the mounting pressure from the terraces ahead of the crucial derby clash on Sunday.
