Big freeze hits Scottish Cup ties

The streets around Rugby Park have been frozen solid
The streets around Rugby Park have been frozen solid

The continued wintry weather has claimed all seven of Tuesday's rearranged Active Nation Scottish Cup fourth-round ties.

Kilmarnock's match against Falkirk was called off because of icy conditions outside the ground, also the cause of Livingston v Dundee's postponement.

Elsewhere, frozen pitches at Morton, Forfar, Ross County, Albion Rovers and Inverness have ruled out matches there.

And Edinburgh City's game against Montrose on Wednesday is off too.

A pitch inspection is planned for Tuesday for the sole remaining midweek Scottish Cup tie, Ayr United v Brechin City.

Just six out of 16 ties were able to go ahead at the weekend.

The postponed ties have been rescheduled for Monday 18 January, except Morton v Celtic at Cappielow, which will be played the following evening.

Temperatures around Scotland are expected to remain low for the rest of January, meaning the other ties set for the coming week could also be in doubt.

The two Scottish Premier League matches scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday go ahead as planned.

St Mirren host Aberdeen, then Dundee United visit Hamilton the following evening.
