Recent days have seen a sharp decline in temperatures across Scotland, leading to a significant impact on the weekend’s football schedule.
In the latest developments, Saturday’s SPFL lineup has seen a major shakeup due to snowy conditions and plummeting temperatures, resulting in the postponement of eleven matches. This includes a key fixture in the Premiership, where Livingston’s clash with Ross County has been delayed.
The list of cancellations extends further, affecting multiple leagues. The Championship encounters between Dunfermline and Queen’s Park, as well as Falkirk’s match against Cove Rangers, have been shelved. Additionally, fixtures like Kelty Hearts versus Edinburgh City, Alloa Athletic against Annan Athletic, East Fife’s game with Spartans, the Elgin City vs Clyde match, and Peterhead’s face-off with Dumbarton have all been put on hold. These postponements come on the heels of three other cancellations that were announced on Friday.
However, it’s not all gloomy news for football fans. Matches at Stenhousemuir and Forfar are still on the calendar after successful pitch inspections.
