Rangers Game To Be Moved?

Last updated : 21 October 2007 By Stuart Gillespie
This seems a bit of a strange move. While preparation is vital for the Italy game, does it really need to be for a fortnight? What about the other four SPL games that weekend? Will Saints and Flakirk be compensated for lost revenue?

There's also the fact that not all Scotland players play for the Old Firm. Will McLeish be asking Everton not to play James McFadden, Sunderland not to play Craig Gordon and so on? And there's plenty of time for the likes of Barry Ferguson and Scott Brown to get injured before that game, so playing the weekend before is hardly going to change things.

No doubt a decision will be taken without the consideration of Saints and Falkirk, with the media painting us as the bad guys if we don't help out.
