THURSDAY, 03 OCTOBER 2013 11:15 Pars Game Called Off WRITTEN BY ANDREW DICKSON Pars Game Called Off NEXT week’s home League One fixture with Dunfermline has been postponed after Rangers asked for a cancellation because of international call-ups. The Light Blues will be without at least three players next Saturday because they’ll be away representing their countries. As such, Ally McCoist has exercised the club’s right to request the fixture be moved and an application was submitted last night. Lee Wallace was yesterday called into Gordon Strachan’s Scotland squad for the World Cup qualifier with Croatia at Hampden Park. That came after Lewis Macleod was named in the under-21 pool for the double-header at home to Slovakia then away to Georgia in Tbilisi. Arnold Peralta was also selected by Honduras last week for their qualifying games against Costa Rica and Jamaica, which could see them seal a place in Brazil next summer. In addition to that, Andy Little and Dean Shiels are also on standby for Northern Ireland and could receive late summons for their games with Azerbaijan and Israel. The meeting with the Pars at Ibrox was meant to be broadcast live on BT Sport, with kick-off moved to 5.30pm. But now the game will move to a yet-to-be-determined new date and time which will be announced in due course. Armed with a five-point advantage in the table at present, Gers will stay top whatever happens elsewhere next Saturday provided they at least draw with Ayr on Sunday. rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/5210-pars-game-called-off
