St Johnstone’s home match against St Mirren in the Ladbrokes Premiership has been called off, with McDiarmid Park currently snowbound while a waterlogged pitch ended any hopes of Dunfermline’s clash with Dundee United in the Ladbrokes Championship going ahead. Two other second tier matches - Morton v Alloa and Ayr v Queen of the South - have also been called off, leaving Falkirk’s home match with Partick Thistle as the only surviving Championship game.

In League One, Dumbarton-Airdrieonians and Brechin-Montrose have both been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch and snow respectively and in League Two, Berwick and Peterhead will replay their match on Tuesday night with a thick blanket of snow currently covering Shielfield Park, and a waterlogged pitch has put paid to Albion Rovers’ clash with Cowdenbeath.
