The kick-off time of Rangers' pre-season friendly match against Birmingham City was pushed back at the last minute.
Over ten thousand Rangers fans are believed to be attending the game at St Andrew's on Wednesday evening.
And with Birmingham City introducing new electronic scanners at their turnstiles, it caused huge queues of punters worried about missing a moment of the action.
So to avoid unnecessary congestion, the English Football League outfit took the sensible decision to switch the start time from 7.30pm to 7.45pm in a bid to get as many supporters safely into the stadium as possible before things got underway.

A tweet from Rangers read: "Kick-off has been delayed until 7.45pm to ensure safe entry of all fans into the stadium."
While the hosts informed their fans on social media by writing: "Please note that tonight's kick-off has been delayed by 15 minutes to 7:45pm to allow all fans to enter the ground safely."
Philippe Clement's men will be put through their paces in the Midlands before they travel to face Union Berlin on Saturday.
Rangers' Scottish Premiership campaign begins the following weekend with a visit to Heart of Midlothian.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
