Scottish Cup tie between Brora Rangers and Cove Rangers postponed due to snowbound pitch

The Scottish Cup fourth round meeting between Brora Rangers and Cove Rangers has been postponed after a snowbound Dudgeon Park failed a pitch inspection.

The call off came after Dudgeon Park was deemed unplayable due to snow on the pitch after an inspection late this morning.

A revised date of Tuesday, January 23 has been announced for the fixture, with a 7.45pm kick off.

Volunteers and committee who had gathered to shovel snow on Thursday morning called off efforts to clear the pitch after additional snowfall in the afternoon.

A spokesperson for Brora Rangers said: "An inspection took place late this morning, and confirmed that Dudgeon Park will be unplayable due to the volume of snow on the pitch.

"The match has now been rescheduled for Tuesday, January 23 with a 7.45pm kick off."

Elsewhere, the Highland League match between Wick Academy and Brechin City, and North Caledonian League meeting between Golspie Sutherland and Orkney have also fallen victim to the snow and have been postponed.
