Josh Windass hits out as former Rangers star slams football's decision to shut down over Queen tribute

Former Rangers midfielder Josh Windass has vented on the decision to shut down football following the sad passing of the Queen.

The Queen died on Thursday, aged 96, and now sport is set to shut down in unison as a poignant mark of respect for the long-reigning monarch. Rugby, horse racing and golf events have all been postponed their events, with the SPFL, EFL and Premier League have called off the weekend's fixture list as a mark of respect for Her Majesty's 70-years of service.

However, the decision to put the fixture card on hold this weekend has led to some criticism. Sheffield Wednesday's English League One clash with Plymouth Argyle has been postponed as part of the tribute, but Windass admitted he couldn't understand the decision from Football League chiefs. Taking to social media, the former Ibrox playmaker initially responded bluntly by tweeting "baffling" before clashing with other users online.
