Rangers chief fumes as SPL refuse postponement

RANGERS chairman David Murray launched a scathing attack on the Scottish Premier League and claimed their decision to refuse his club more time to prepare for the UEFA Cup final was so bad the rest of world football will be laughing at Scotland.

League chiefs refused to bow to Ibrox pressure to postpone Saturday’s league game against Dundee United, and insisted there is no chance of the SPL season being extended beyond May 22.

Rangers’ European final opponents Zenit St Petersburg have been allowed to postpone three games to ensure their preparation is right for the May 14 final in Manchester.
