Following lengthy discussions with the SPFL over the past few hours, the decision has been taken, in the interests of public safety, that this afternoon’s William Hill League One match with Stenhousemuir should be postponed.

The Balmoral Stadium pitch was cleared of snow on Thursday, and all surrounding areas have been made safe. Two local clubs were training at the ground this morning and we had every confidence the game would go ahead.

But taking into consideration the alerts being issued by Police Scotland and the Met Office warning against unnecessary travel, and the difficulties being faced not just by Stenhousemuir, but by other clubs around the country, the SPFL made the call.

Having done everything we could, we are disappointed not to be able to play the match, but we fully understand and respect the decision; the safety of supporters, players and club staff has to be paramount.

Details of the rearranged fixture will be published in due course.
