Don’t punish Old Firm for being in Europe, says angry McLeish

RANGERS manager Alex McLeish has called on the administrators of the Scottish game to help its top clubs instead of punishing them for being in Europe.

For the second game running, an Old Firm fixture has become the centre of a row between an Old Firm manager and the Scottish Premier League.

McLeish is unhappy that the visit of Celtic to Ibrox today kicks off at 12.30pm just 55 hours after they arrived back in Glasgow following a Champions League game in Greece.
