Rangers' decision to ban away fans from their Champions League clash with Napoli will allow the police to send 90 per cent fewer officers, as forces remain stretched due to restrictions with policing resources after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The Government will hold a meeting with all major sports on Monday morning and the intention is for fixtures to go ahead wherever possible.
However, the strain on police resources before and during the Queen’s funeral a week on Monday may lead to more postponements in the Premier League this weekend.
