Rangers appeared to call a truce in their long running feud with SPFL bosses when they publicly thanked the league for helping Giovanni van Bronckhorst prepare for a shot at European history.
Record Sport revealed on Monday night that an agreement had been provisionally thrashed out to switch Sunday’s top flight trip to Fir Park to a lunchtime kick-off slot on Saturday in order to give Van Bronckhorst and his players an extra 24 hours to get ready for next Thursday’s Europa League semi final first leg against RB Leipzig.
But the rescheduling needed to be rubber-stamped by Police Scotland before it could be officially announced.
