Rangers may have made a costly mistake by postponing St Mirren clash
Derek McInnes' side have Europa League third-round qualifying ties against Jagiellonia Białystok to deal with first, but they will face a play-off either way.
Ibrox News has already covered everything supporters need to know about Rangers' encounter with the Polish side.
They have now exercised their right to move the clash with the Buddies to the week of September 8/9 or September 15/16.
The Bears confirmed that the exact date will be announced after their UEFA qualifying campaign is finished.
However, it may not prove to be the right move for the Light Blues, and could be a costly error.
Why Rangers may regret postponing St Mirren clash
Rangers tried to postpone their clash with the Paisley side last season when Russell Martin was in charge.
They ultimately went ahead with it and withdrew their request, but it caused significant backlash.
This decision will likely kick up a fuss, but that is not the only reason why it may not be right call.
McInnes would surely benefit from his side playing the game in its original slot, as it would have allowed them to build momentum and rhythm.
Postponing a game in the early stages of the campaign has the potential to harm their chances of overhauling Celtic and Hearts.
How much could Rangers earn from Europa League qualification?
If the Gers end up in the Europa League when all is said and done, it is probably the right decision.
Based on official UEFA figures from the 2025-26 season, qualification for the tournament gives clubs £3.7million, and they will receive £389,000 for each win that they manage.
Teams that qualify automatically for the knockouts in the top-eight are given £519,000, while those who finish between ninth and 16th were handed £260,000.
If they make the round of 16, they will bank £1.5m, another £2.2m for a quarter-final berth, and an extra £3.9m if they get to the semi-finals.
The two finalists will be handed £6.1m, and the winners will get £5.2m if they lift the trophy.
Therefore, it may prove financially viable for the G51 side, but that may come at the expense of results on the pitch in the domestic game.
