Dunfermline’s trip to Motherwell rescheduled for January 24

Strong winds forced the postponement of Dunfermline’s clash with Motherwell at Fir Park.

The game was called off at lunchtime after 90mph gales caused structural damage to the stadium. It was feared spectators could be put at risk.

The match has already been rescheduled for Tuesday January 24, kicking off at 7.45pm.

Motherwell chief executive Leeann Dempster said: ”We were obviously desperate to get the game on but there has been significant structural damage to the ground.

”That could have posed a risk to supporters so with that in mind, we have agreed with Dunfermline to postpone the fixture and replay it at the earliest opportunity.”
