Nobody likes having their work routines changed last minute.

Footballers are no different.

Unfortunately for Philippe Clement's Rangers players, their rearranged game with Dundee means they will have just ONE day off in the whole of April.

The Belgian boss insists his players will have just one day off from training or playing this month as they contend with a busy schedule.

They were meant to play at Dens Park against Dundee last night, however, the match was called off for a second time due to a waterlogged pitch.

This has been rescheduled for next week on Wednesday, April 17 - just days before Rangers then take on Hearts for a place in the Scottish Cup final.

Clement claims this sees his team facing a disadvantage in terms of their preparations ahead of the showpiece event at Hampden.

And because of the need to change the first team training regime to accommodate next week's extra game, Rangers' stars will be afforded only one day off this month as they fight it out in the Premiership title race and for Scottish Cup glory.

"We were ready to play, we prepared everything to play," said Clement. "Players had the treatment and we had the pre-match meeting like we always do. We were together in the hotel prepared on three points.

"Playing in the Premiership, the top league, with viewing records being set at the weekend and three days later we have something really bad for the image of the game. It could have been avoided by playing somewhere else.

"We were even prepared to play today if Wednesday was not possible, we offered that option. Who is going to guarantee that it won't rain next week also?

"We want just to play the game, we have a very busy schedule and prepare all training and preparation days in advance. The guys will have had two days off this month and I now have to remove one.

"This is bad for the image of football in Scotland and it needs to be avoided. It is important now to make the right decisions so this does not happen any more. The last information is that will hear on Tuesday 12:00 before we travel what is going to happen. It is important now to make a good decision for next week so everyone can prepare in a good way."
