Cold snap hits Scottish fixtures

The match at Almondvale is one of many called off

The cold weather has dealt Scottish football a blow, with seven Scottish Cup ties and two league matches falling victim to frozen pitches.

Partick Thistle's cup tie with Dunfermline was a late casualty, with a decision made at 1345 GMT.

Airdrie United v Kilmarnock was called off at midday, soon after the St Johnstone v Raith Rovers match.

The other postponed cup games are Clyde v Dundee Utd, Livingston v Cowdenbeath, Huntly v Dundee and Cove v Ross County.

The Third Division match between Forfar and Arbroath is postponed, while Elgin City v Albion Rovers is also off.

Four cup ties will now be played on Tuesday 15 January, with Cove Rangers v Ross County, Airdrie Utd v Kilmarnock plus Partick v Dunfermline scheduled for 22 January.

The dates for the league matches have yet to be decided.
