Rangers' Scottish Cup fourth-round tie against East Stirling on Sunday has fallen victim to the weather.

Torrential rainfall overnight and on Sunday morning means the match has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

The cup game at Ibrox has been rescheduled for Wednesday 23 January, leading to a fixture headache.

Henrik Larsson has signed a new contract at Helsingborgs ruling out an emotional return to Celtic.

The Swedish striker had been linked with a move to Celtic Park during the transfer window, but his decision to remain in his homeland has ruled out any chance of that now happening.

Larsson became a legend at Celtic during a seven-year spell at the club between 1997 and 2004, and took the decision to return to his roots after helping Barcelona to UEFA Champions League glory in 2006.

Larsson had been slow to dismiss the rumours linking him with a return to Scotland, but has now chosen to extend his stay with Helsingborgs for a further year.

Scottish Cup holders Celtic face a trip to either Kilmarnock or Airdrie United in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup.

With seven fourth-round ties postponed and four matches drawn, the list leaves open a number of possibilities.

Hibernian have the prospect of a home tie with Rangers, while St Mirren will take on Clyde or Dundee United.
