I am praying that people make journeys from the Highlands, down South and Northern Ireland again tomorrow, only for the game to be rained off again.

Forgive him for he does not what he is doing.

Clearly desperately need the revenue from another home game ASAP. Tick tock.

Well dear readers the latest news from Sevconia isn't good, according to Tugger Guy if they don't get the revenue from today's game by tomorrow then they are in dire straits. Ofcourse the  succulent churnalists in the MSM won't have the nerve to print this but this intrepid reporter always delivers the sevnews.

Presumably they will try for Monday if it is called off again tomorrow?


That’s what livi wanted, rangers wanted tomorrow.


Rain forecast today 15.7mm
Tomorrow 1.8mm
Monday 7.4mm then horrendous for the rest of the week

Would imagine Thursday is more of a doubt than tomorrow

🆕| We can confirm that the game with @RangersFC has been rearranged for Sunday 16th Feb (tomorrow) at 3pm.

As a club, we tried to rearrange for Monday night to allow the weather to pass & fans to make alternative arrangements but, ultimately, the decision was made by the S

 

But everyone is against them, so how could they get their way?

Assuming all pre-split fixtures must be fulfilled before the split, trying again for Sunday or Monday night doesn’t sound too outlandish. Particularly if they’re already struggling to pencil in a match against the Perth Saints, with a decent chance of progression in Europe.

Livi to be awarded the three points due to the ****’ ineptitude IMO.

Worth noting that game is outstanding as Rangers played no game on the midweek of Wednesday 18th December due to a TV game on Friday 20th. Nor was it played Monday 23rd.

That decision has come back to bite the authorities now, as they've effectively wasted a date and now suffered an unexpected postponement.

They can just extend the season to allow Rangers to fight on all fronts, and if they don't, it's bias.
Wait, I think I've seen this before...

The funniest end to a season in years. Rangers have a giant strop that the season wasn't extended, David Edgar's "hidden hand" paranoia, Rangers having caused their own problem by postponing a home game against fucking GRETNA for international commitments, shitting the bed in the UEFA Cup Final and losing the league on the last day at Pittodrie. McCoist raging. Just delicious.

League season was extended in 2007-08. Instead of finishing on Sunday 18th May it was put back to Thursday 22nd and Rangers also played Saturday 17th and Monday 19th.

Scottish Cup Final was not delayed although Gordon Smith tried to get it put back to Wednesday 28th May.

Rangers suffered several postponements (A v St Mirren, H v East Stirlingshire, IIRC) and 3 cancellations for Scotland-Italy, Rangers-Lyon and Phil O'Donnell's death.

Is the "let's play the game the next day" option only available to Rangers? Has this even ever happened before in the league?

Don't think it's ever happened in SPL or SPFL.

When some SFL games were unseasonably washed-out on last Saturday of league season in 2008-09 in they were rearranged for Monday.

Rangers-Braga being postponed would have to retry on Friday.

That's a problem as there isn't then 2 clear days to St Johnstone-Rangers next Sunday.

It can't go back to Monday as (unusually for EL game) Braga-Rangers is a week on Wednesday, not Thursday.

Basically the scheduling and TV picks have painted them into a corner.


EDIT: Due to TV picks they cannot catch-up a game on March 9th either i.e.:

Wed 26th Feb     Braga v Rangers (EL)
Sat 29th Feb        Hearts v Rangers (SC)
Tue 3rd Mar          Rangers v Hamilton                  this game is Wed 4th
Fri 6th Mar             Ross County v Rangers          this game is Sun 8th for TV
Mon 9th Mar         X
Thu 12th Mar       (EL)

Depending on European results we'd struggle to fit it in.

It happens in the cup competitions all the time - ie any time that the match has to be played reasonably quickly before a deadline.

The league have a fairly strict rule, agreed to by all the clubs, about not playing twice in the space of three days, so none of those dates were available. I don't think there's anything wrong with waiting to see how they progressed in the leagues and cups and then, in the event that they get through in both Europe and the cup, squeezing in any left over games either after the split if possible, or in the midweek before and after the cup semi-final if not.
