The Scottish Premier League have postponed Wednesday's Old Firm derby as a mark of respect following the death of Motherwell skipper Phil O'Donnell.
Celtic on Monday made a formal request to the SPL for the game to be called off as their squad struggle to cope with the death of their former player, and Rangers boss Walter Smith backed a postponement so the SPL moved quickly to meet the request.
SPL secretary Iain Blair said: "These are never easy decisions. But we recognise that as a former player, Phil was part of Celtic's extended football family. After consultation with Rangers we agreed to postpone the Old Firm fixture on the second of January."
