ALBION ROVERS are considering a change of venue for their Scottish Cup fourth-round tie against Celtic due to safety concerns.
The League One outfit secured a glamour fixture against the champions on Monday night after recording an upset against Championship side Queen of the South.
Calum Ferguson's last-minute winner booked ten-man Rovers a lucrative test against the Hoops on January 21, but club chairman Ronnie Boyd has revealed a change of venue is being considered.

Boyd is concerned that the Coatbridge side's Cliftonhill ground doesn't meet safety standards and revealed that a switch to Motherwell's Fir Park or Hamilton Academical's New Douglas Park is being considered.
"They have to be options," Boyd told BBC Scotland.
"We would love to play it here but we have to look at the safety of the fans."
