The Scottish Licensed Trade Association yesterday became the latest organisation to call for the game between Rangers and Celtic to be moved.
Chief Constable Phil Gormley said: “There is no ideal time to have the game, but if you put it on New Year’s Eve at 12.30pm you reduce the risk of over-consumption of alcohol.
“You’ve also got a full transport infrastructure on so that people can get to and from the match.
“There’s a compelling logic around it.”
