Neil Lennon’s side expected to be playing in Champions League qualifiers at this stage of the season, which would have permitted the game to go ahead as planned but they lost Hungarian champions Ferencvaros in Glasgow.

They now face an away trip to Riga or Tre Fiori in the third qualifying round of the Europa League.

The Latvians welcome the San Marino minnows next Thursday in a one-off tie to decide who gets through to the third qualifying round.
