KazzyTI 267 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Smith also revealed that their is still some confusion as to when the replay can be scheduled. Smith admits that Rangers were ready to play this midweek, but were told the date was not suitable. Now with two matches against Panathinaikos in the UEFA Cup and another midweek trip to the capital to face Hearts on the 27th, there are no further free midweeks in February. The manager added: "We offered to play on Wednesday and we've been told we can't. We have a busy schedule and with one midweek available, it's a bit of a mystery why we can't play in it." http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Ne...1231775,00.html - Near the bottom. Why can't we play midweek if we have it free and Hibs don't object? What a ridiculous state of affairs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 9 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Like I said, the bigwigs in this country are atrocious. It almost seems like they do what they do out of petty minded spite and the desire to abuse their power. Because they can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
