Crisis-torn Gretna will fulfil their Scottish Premier League fixture with Aberdeen on Saturday even though the future of the club is still hanging in the balance.
Speaking on Thursday, administrator David Elliot suggested the game might not go ahead as the club had effectively breached the contracts of their players who were eligible to leave.
He also suggested the club might not see out the week unless they found an immediate £30,000 for costs involved in the weekend trip to Pittodrie.
However, the club has now confirmed that they will fulfil their fixture commitment despite their continuing precarious position.
"Tomorrow's Clydesdale Bank Premier League fixture with Aberdeen at Pittodrie will go ahead as planned," read a club statement.
"The club are now in a position to allow a full squad to travel on Saturday.
"Arrangements are also being made regarding the Celtic fixture due to be played on Sunday March 23 at Fir Park.
"The club would like to thank everyone for their messages of support and to those individuals who have offered their services."
