After you reboot you should see a notification that you need to sign into Google and that play services needs an update before you can continue.

Have you tried deleting Play Store and reinstalling....or can't it actually be deleted?

Maybe @MI5 can advise?

Reboot the phone - it needs an update to Google play services first.

It's not actually anything to do with play store - that's a symptom, not the cause.
