Scottish Premiership postponements latest for Rangers vs Aberdeen and Livingston vs St Mirren
Scottish Premiership fixtures set to take place on Tuesday are at risk of postponement after a weather warning was issued.
Rangers beat Celtic 3-1 in the Old Firm derby on Saturday, with Danny Rohl‘s team looking to capitalise on their momentum.
The Gers have now won three consecutive Scottish Premiership games, and are behind Wilfried Nancy‘s team only on goals scored.
They will have a boost on Tuesday if the game goes ahead, too, with Aberdeen set to be manager-less after sacking Jimmy Thelin.
Nancy is under massive pressure at Celtic, and the torment is set to intensify if Rangers go above the Bhoys on Tuesday.
New weather warning threatens Scottish Premiership postponements
Games across the UK were postponed last weekend, as stadiums faced frozen pitches and unsafe conditions.
Several games in the Championship and League One were postponed, and the situation is set to be no different in Scotland.
The Met Office have released yellow weather warnings for snow and ice, covering the entirety of Scotland.
Livingston‘s clash with St Mirren at Almondvale Stadium is set to kick off at 19:45 and may be affected by the weather, with the same situation facing Rangers’ clash with Aberdeen at Ibrox that will kick off 15 minutes later.
While most eyes will be on the title race and how Rangers respond under pressure to beat Aberdeen, the other match is certainly one to watch as well.
Livingston can claim just their second league win of the season if they beat St Mirren on Tuesday, which would see the gap between the teams closed to six points, and Livi’s gap to Kilmarnock to just one.
Livingston set for pitch inspection ahead of clash
Livingston are different to many other Scottish Premiership teams in the sense that they have an artificial pitch to maintain.
A new surface was installed in May last year, with the stadium’s position making a real grass pitch difficult to preserve.
Livingston confirmed on Monday that Almondvale Stadium is subject to a 10:30 GMT pitch inspection ahead of the game on Tuesday to survey the pitch’s readiness.
Fans planning to attend should pay close attention to any further announcements regarding the game.
