Russell Martin discusses Rangers postponing St Mirren game
The Ibrox side face Viktoria Plzen in a crucial Champions League qualifier second leg and if victorious, they could delay the Paisley trip. The St Mirren clash, scheduled for August 24, would sit between the two-legged play-off against either Red Bull Salzburg or Club Brugge. A new SPFL rule allows clubs to delay one league game if it falls just before a European tie, to aid preparation. It was expected Rangers would use this for the Buddies game, to boost their chances of making the Champions League. However, Rangers manager, Russell Martin, indicated this might not happen. In a press briefing, Martin said: "Well, no decision's been made either way. "I think the plan has always been to play the game unless, depending on what happened on Tuesday, if we get through this and all that stuff. "So it's been flexible. "But our league table this early on will not dictate what we do with a game, honestly. "At the minute I expect we'll play it and if that changes because of whatever reason we feel it will help us... we have to win this game tomorrow first as well. "So we'll see." Rangers must first focus on winning the match against Viktoria Plzen before making any decisions regarding the St Mirren fixture.

Rangers could still face St Mirren as Russell Martin makes clear the league table will NOT dictate final decision
Rangers could still face St Mirren as Russell Martin makes clear the league table will NOT dictate final decision Ibrox chiefs have notified the SPFL they are planning to take the option to postpone the fixture if they get past Viktoria Plzen Rangers boss Russell Martin Russell Martin admits Rangers could still make the trip to Paisley later this month EVEN if they make the Champions League play-offs. Gers are scheduled to face St Mirren at the SMISA on Sunday, August 24 - but Ibrox chiefs have notified SPFL they are planning to take up the option to postpone the fixture against Stephen Robinson's Buddies should they progress past Viktoria Plzen to make the final eliminator for UEFA's top tournament. Those plans, however, have been thrown into disarray by Gers' nightmare start to the campaign following back-to-back draws against Motherwell and Dundee. Should they skip the Saints fixture, it would leave the Light Blues potentially looking at slipping 10 points behind Celtic in the event of them losing the opening Old Firm fixture at the end of the month. Defender Nasser Djiga would also be forced to sit out the derby battle should the trip along the M8 be shelved following his dismissal against Dundee on Saturday. But now Martin says a final call has yet to be reached on whether the game goes ahead - but insists it won't be determined by the early moves in the title race. Article continues below Martin - whose side lead Plzen 3-0 ahead of Tuesday's second leg - said: 'No decision has been made either way. 'I think we were told the option would be there. But the plan has always been to play the game, depending on what happened on the Tuesday night and if we get through this. It's flexible. 'But the league table this early will not dictate what we do with the game. 'Someone mentioned to me this morning, oh, this can happen, this permutation and all this stuff, but it's just not something we're going to get caught up with. 'We're not even at the end of August yet. So, we'll see. 'But our league position, the points table and all that stuff, will not dictate what we do with the St Mirren game at all. 'So, at the minute, I expect we'll play. "If that changes, because for whatever reason, we feel it will help us. 'But we have to win this game tomorrow first as well. So, we'll see.'
