SPL games fall victim to the weather

All six Scottish Premier League matches at the weekend have been postponed because of travel chaos caused by the wintry weather conditions, reports BBC Sport. The Scottish Football League games at Dunfermline and Berwick had already been called off before the announcement from the top-flight.

And the SFL is due to assess its other 13 fixtures on Thursday.

"In light of the severe weather conditions across Scotland, which are forecast to continue for some time, all Clydesdale Bank Premier League games have been postponed this weekend, Saturday 4 December," said the SPL in a statement.

"It is hoped that this early notice of postponement, whilst disappointing, will allow everyone to plan accordingly.

"New dates for the fixtures will be announced in due course."

The SFL expects most of its fixtures to follow suit but wants to give every opportunity to matches where the clubs are in close proximity.
