Standard Liège game off after fans block team bus in protest against 777 Partners

• Belgian club are owned by US firm linked with Everton takeover
• Friday's home match with Westerlo postponed after protests

Standard Liege, the Belgian club owned by turmoil-hit US investment group 777 Partners, were forced to postpone their league game on Friday after protesting fans blocked the team coach from reaching the stadium.

Fans of Standard, 10-time Belgian champions, have stepped up protests this season against Miami-based 777, whose legal and financial worries have led to the club currently being under another temporary transfer embargo.
