Motherwell have criticised the SPFL's decision to move their game against Rangers to Christmas Eve.
The Fir Park side were originally pencilled in to face the Ibrox club on December 23 before the switch for TV purposes.
And they voiced their frustration at the change.
A club statement read: "The club were informed of the decision to move our fixture against Rangers to Christmas Eve yesterday afternoon, an hour before the SPFL initially intended to announce publicly.
"Whilst we fully acknowledge that the contract which is currently in place between the SPFL and our main broadcasters allows kick off times to be moved from Saturday to Sunday midday, with an agreed notice period, we believe that moving a major fixture to this date is a special circumstance that should’ve led to additional consultation/ discussion with the club.
"We can only apologise to supporters who will be inconvenienced by this move and especially to those who will no longer be able to attend the game.
"We understand this move is particularly inconvenient for fans who had booked pre match hospitality, which was already sold out.
"We are working with suppliers to provide an alternative offering pre and post match. We hope to still see as many of our fans as possible at the game.
