FOOTBALL Waterlogged pitch rain grass mud - 0

The news came after a second inspection at lunchtime found the Fir Park pitch to be in an unplayable state.

The original fixture was scheduled for Saturday but was postponed after heavy rainfall hit Scotland at the weekend.

A statement on the club's official website read: "Despite having pitch covers in place since Sunday morning, the ground beneath the turf has not had sufficient time to de-saturate and the SFA official has deemed the park un-safe for top flight football."

The tie has been rescheduled for Monday, February 11 with a 19:45 kick-off.

The winners face a trip to Queen of the South in the quarter-final on March 8.
