    Rovers chairman Ronnie Boyd says it could be played at either Motherwell's Fir Park or Hamilton Academical's New Douglas Park.   

    "They have to be options," said Boyd. 

    "We would love to play it here [Cliftonhill] but we have to look at the safety of fans."

  13. Neilson backgroundpublished at 12:00

    Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson will replace Karl Robinson as manager of MK Dons, who are 19th in England's third tier, should compensation be agreed.  

    A former Scotland and Leicester right-back, Neilson was given his first management job by his old club Hearts in May 2014.

    He led his side to the Scottish Championship title and promotion in his first season in charge and they finished third in the top flight last term.

    It is expected Neilson will take his assistant Stevie Crawford to MK Dons, who had previously been in talks with former England and Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard.

    However, the 36-year-old said the vacancy came "a bit too soon" for him after his exit from LA Galaxy.

    Robinson's six-year reign at MK Dons ended in October, following a poor start to the season having been relegated from the Championship last term.
