The limited thaw has not saved Stirling Albion's match

Eight Scottish Football League matches have been postponed because of the effects of the freezing weather.

In the First Division, Stirling Albion's game against Raith Rovers and Falkirk's match at Cowdenbeath are off.

The Second Division games at Airdrie, Forfar and Livingston have also become victims of the continued cold snap.

Albion Rovers v Arbroath, East Stirlingshire v Queen's Park and Annan's game against Clyde are off in the Third Division.

First Division Morton's match against Dundee goes ahead after Cappielow passed a Saturday morning pitch inspection.

And the pitch at East End Park has also been deemed playable, so Dunfermline's game against Queen of the South survives too.

The Greenock club and Dunfermline had put out an appeal for fans to help clear their pitches ahead of their matches.

Annan's game against Clyde was postponed on Saturday after it failed an inspection.

The Galabank side's next game is scheduled to be their Scottish Cup third-round replay against Brechin City on Tuesday.

East Fife's Second Division match against Stenhousemuir goes ahead after the New Bayview pitch was approved for play.

Stirling Albion have not played for almost three weeks.

Their match on 27 November was called off because of the referees' strike and, since then, snow and ice have denied them competitive action.

The club want the Scottish Football Association to compensate them for lost revenue caused by the referees' walkout.
