She could still have requested the switch - the option was open to all the clubs in the division. And although I don't know of any official chronology of when the clubs were asked - just because it only came out in the media after Dempster's kiss-and-tell with the press doesn't mean it hadn't happened before then - it doesn't really matter when the clubs were asked. When it was raised as an issue they were all given an option to apply for it. Smokescreen/cash-grab.

Also, I don't think I've heard or read anyone say the matches should have been held at different times, 'blue masses' or not.

Neil Doncaster and his cronies at the SPFL came out and said the matches should be played at different times and the silence coming out of Ibrox was deafening until Stuart McCall, in his defence of the club, said that they should be played at the same time.
