Blackpool have called off their friendly against Rangers on Wednesday after a number of positive Covid-19 cases in the playing squad.

The Championship club said those affected are self-isolating in line with government guidance.

Scottish Premiership winners Rangers had sold 4,500 tickets for the match and called the cancellation "sensible".

Blackpool start their league season with a trip to Bristol City on Saturday, 7 August.
