Celtic v Dundee postponed due to Storm Eowyn damage as new date confirmed

Celtic's scheduled Scottish Premiership match against Dundee on Saturday has been postponed due to stadium damage caused by Storm Eowyn.

Gusts of up to 100mph were recorded across the central belt of Scotland on Friday causing widespread disruption to travel and damage to infrastructure.

Saturday's Scottish League One match between Arbroath and Kelty Hearts was the first SPFL fixture to be called off following "storm damage" at Gayfield Park.

Now Celtic's match against Dundee has followed suit with a decision made to cancel the game in the interests of supporter safety due to damage at Parkhead stadium with a new date set.
