Three other SPL games planned for tonight or tomorrow have also bitten the dust for similar reasons, following in the footsteps of last weekend's scheduled game between Saints and Aberdeen.
Although no snow has fallen in the last few days, the roads and pavements in much of Scotland are still pretty dangerous, some of which are sheet ice. However, despite tomorrow's game being off, the supermarkets around New Douglas Park will almost certainly be open. Obviously it's OK for old ladies to go and get their shopping, but not OK for some football fans to go to a match.
The postponements make you wonder about the need for undersoil heating if the police are going to keep calling games off. At least this decision has been made nice and early. Odds on Saturday's home game against Kilmarnock also being postponed?
