I read they didn't decide yet on a new date.
Toulouse have been left distinctly unamused by Glasgow's refusal to play their European Cup tie until missing shoe inserts, contact lenses and other specialist equipment turns up.
The Glasgow players arrived in the French city on Friday minus their baggage, delayed in London by the arctic snap.
The match is finally due to take place on Tuesday, with the Scottish team's bags finally expected to be flown in hours before the evening kick-off.
At a press conferecne on Monday Toulouse president René Bouscatel was irked that their offer of providing replacement kit had been rejected by their Scottish rivals.
"There is a certain amateurism, not only from the Scots, but also the organisers," Bouscatel said, adding that he was surprised the Glasgow players hadn't kept their most important equipment with them as hand luggage on the plane.
"It's scandalous that in 2010 we can't find shirts and boots for 25 players," said Manager Guy Novès.
"Apparently they need soles and contact lenses. Visibly, they're blind at the moment. It leaves a bad taste in the mouth."
The Toulouse president complained that delaying the fixture by three days had hit supporters and local businesses hard.
"It's more than just a game, it's an event with an economy around it," said Bouscatel.
Toulouse are demanding 100,000 euros in compensation for the delay from organisers European Cup Rugby, and in the event of a fresh delay, they are requesting to be awarded five points for a bonus-point win in line with ERC regulations.
Glasgow spokesman Stuart Martin sought to play down the rift, explaining that the missing luggage contained "essential medical supplies".
"They are elite athletes, the players use specifically designed equipment. For the shoe inserts, it takes weeks to manufacture them," he said.
Martin thanked Toulouse for their efforts in trying to solve the situation, adding that this situation "could happend to anyone".
On Monday evening it was still unclear who would officiate at Tuesday's match since the three matches officials for the original match had already returned to Ireland.
"We're still waiting for communication from the ERC as to who the referees will be," said Bouscatel.
Toulouse head Pool 6 ahead of this fourth round of matches on 12 points, from Wasps on 10, with Glasgow in third on four points and Dragons last on one point.

I'd really be very very happy if Glasgow could get something against Toulouse; I think it would be the biggest surprise of the heineken cup so far though. From a wasps point of view, keeping Toulouse to only three tries would be greatly appreciated.
Then again, maybe we don't want Glasgow to have too much confidence going into their match with us!
That's if the game actually gets played after the equipment commotion.

I don't get the fuzz, Toulouse will win the game most likely.
And now the fans have a chance of still seeing the game.

They got lots of penalties, and then another yellow card late in the second. But there biggest issue was that they could not maintain possession of the ball. With ball in hand they looked great, but would slip up or make a big break just to get a turnover.
