A glittering annual Rangers dinner has become a casualty of the club's financial troubles.
Joint administrators Paul Clark and David Whitehouse, of Duff and Phelps, said Sunday's Hall of Fame event – to have been attended by past and present Ibrox players – was no longer appropriate in light of the club's financial difficulties.
In a joint statement, they said: "The club has taken the decision to postpone the Hall of Fame dinner and awards ceremony scheduled for this Sunday at the Glasgow Hilton, as holding the event at this time was not considered appropriate. The event will be rescheduled for a later date and all table sales and sponsorship commitments will be honoured at that time.
"Rangers would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused to supporters, sponsors and clients and we will ensure details of the rescheduled event will be communicated as soon as possible. The club would also like to thank the Glasgow Hilton for its understanding.
"If anyone has booked places or a table at the event and has any questions, the events department can be contacted on 0141 580 8613."
Inclusion in the Hall of Fame is the highest honour the club can bestow on a player and former captain David Weir was due to be presented with an award for his induction.
Tickets for the event were priced at £120 plus VAT per person.
It was unclear last night how many people were due to attend.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
