Rangers will just release another statement, the rest of the SPFL clubs will just laugh it off, and on it goes!

They have been trying for weeks to get this match off, and the SFA/SPFL will back them.

Jermain Defoe has been AXED from Rangers' Europa League squad. And Jordan Jones and George Edmundson have also been left out of the 21-man list. Steven Gerrard submitted his squad after being drawn in Group D alongside Benfica, Standard Liège and Lech Poznań. But due to a lack of homegrown players, Gers have been unable to fill the 25 man limit. UEFA rules state that clubs must have at least four club-trained players in the squad in addition to eight players trained in their home nation. But veteran goalkeeper Allan McGregor is the only club-trained first-team player - forcing Gerrard to choose from a smaller pool. And it means that Northern Ireland cap Jones - who has recently battled his way back into Gerrard's plans - will miss out on European football for the second season in a row. Defender Edmundson has also been sacrificed, although there's room for new signing Bongani Zungu.
