Published on: 02 December 2023

Temperatures have dropped across Scotland in recent days

Games in Ayr, Greenock and Stirling have been postponed and a pitch inspection has been arranged at Livingston as freezing temperatures threaten Saturday's SPFL programme.

A "precautionary pitch inspection" will be held at Livi's Tony Macaroni Arena at 09:00 GMT on Saturday before the Premiership visit of Ross County.

And there will be a 07:30 pitch inspection at Borough Briggs before Elgin City v Clyde in League 2.

Three games went off on Friday,

Ayr United v Arbroath and Greenock Morton v Dundee United in the Championship and Stirling Albion v Montrose in League 1 will be rearranged.

Temperatures are not expected to rise much above freezing on Saturday before three top-flight games and the 12 remaining matches in the lower leagues kicking off at 15:00.

More fixtures could be under threat with temperatures as low as -5C expected overnight in Scotland and some sleet and snow possible.

Livingston said on X the SPFL had requested the Saturday morning inspection of their artificial surface.
