Rangers reveal halt to fan selfies as Ibrox club issue advice on tightened rules for players

Rangers have advised fans that players can no longer stop for pictures or autographs under tightened Covid-19 protocols.

The Ibrox club have revealed updated precautions from the SFA and Scottish Government will be in place ahead of Wednesday night's clash with St Johnstone.

SPFL sides are taking extra care with mitigations to blunt the impact of the Omicron variant on Scottish football.

And that will include limiting contact with supporters ahead of tonight's Premiership fixture at Ibrox.

A Rangers statement said: "Due to updated guidance from the SFA and Scottish government, players and staff will be unable to stop with fans for photographs or signings prior to and after the game this evening.

"We understand that this is disappointing but it is important we continue to mitigate risks to ensure our players, staff and fans remain safe during the ongoing pandemic.

"Thank you for your unrivalled support to our club."

It follows St Johnstone manager Callum Davidson revealing the club were ready to travel to Glasgow in 40 cars.

Confusion over guidance issued to Scottish football's joint response group from Holyrood left Saints on the brink of taking extreme measures to ensure they weren't hammered by isolation requirements in the event of a positive test.

It was believed just one positive test on a team bus would plunge an entire squad until isolation until Record Sport revealed guidelines around close contacts remain unchanged for now.
