Motherwell's Scottish Cup tie against Dundee has been postponed for a second time.

The fifth round tie was set to take place at Fir Park on Tuesday night after falling victim to the weather on Saturday.

However, following two pitch inspections on Tuesday, the clash was once again put on hold because of a waterlogged pitch.

A statement on the club's official website confirmed: "Motherwell's fifth-round clash with Dundee has been postponed for the second time.

"Despite having pitch covers in place since Sunday morning, the ground beneath the turn has not had sufficient time to de-saturate and the SFA official has deemed the park unsafe for top-flight football."

The match has been rescheduled for Monday, February 11, with a 7.45pm kick-off.

Chief executive Ian Stillie said: "I can't stress how disappointed we all are with yet another postponement.

"We purchased new waterproof covers and laid them on Sunday and they appeared to be having the desired effect.

"However, the rainfall in the last three or four weeks has been constant which has left the turf in a very saturated state which is taking time to properly dry out.

"The drains have been blocked up which has made it increasingly difficult to cope with the deluge of the last fortnight.

"We would once again like to apologise to fans of Motherwell and Dundee for this inconvenience."

The affected area of the pitch in front of the East Stand will be replaced at a cost of £40,000 before Saturday's match against Kilmarnock.
