Town’s signing of Rangers striker Joe Garner now looks unlikely to be confirmed before Friday.
The Blues are continuing to wait for paperwork relating to the deal to be finalised at the Rangers end.
The 29-year-old’s move is not understood to be in any jeopardy, the former Preston frontman having undergone a medical earlier this week, a £1 million fee and personal terms - believed to be a three-year contract - having previously been agreed, although it is possible it could drag into next week.
Garner is getting married in his native Lancashire tomorrow but that won’t have an impact on the completion of his switch with the striker not due to be back at Portman Road until the start of pre-season training on June 26th.
