Jim Goodwin has revealed Dundee United pushed for a second delay to kick-off for their match against Rangers.
The Scottish Premiership tie will begin at 3.45pm after it was delayed due to travel issues caused by Storm Bert snow.
Dundee United players only arrived at Ibrox shortly before 3pm and manager Goodwin was keen for kick-off to be pushed back to allow more time to prepare.

Speaking to BBC Scotland, Goodwin said: "The boys have just arrived at the stadium and the game is due to kick off in 45 minutes.
"We have asked the SPFL and Rangers to push it back again, but at the moment that is not happening.
"Kick-off is scheduled for 3.45pm and we will get our players as ready as close to that as we can."
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!
