Storm Eowyn has forced the postponement of Celtic's match against Dundee in the Scottish Premiership due to damage at Celtic Park. This is the first Saturday fixture in the league affected by the weather, although Ross County's game against Hibernian will proceed after a pitch inspection. The Scottish League One clash between Arbroath and Kelty Hearts was also postponed on Friday night because of storm-related issues.

The Celtic versus Dundee game has been rescheduled for February 5. A statement from Celtic Football Club highlighted their disappointment but emphasised that supporter safety remains their top priority. "Unfortunately, due to the stadium damage sustained yesterday we have been advised that we are unable to proceed with today’s match. While clearly this is disappointing, the safety of our supporters will always be our priority," said Celtic Football Club.

Greenock Morton is another club dealing with significant damage to their home ground, Cappielow Park. General manager Dale Pryde-MacDonald confirmed these issues and stated that a comprehensive assessment of the damage will be carried out in the coming days. Despite these challenges, Morton is set to play Queen's Park away in the Championship on Saturday.

The adverse weather conditions have had a widespread impact on Scottish football fixtures this weekend. Clubs are prioritising safety while managing logistical challenges caused by Storm Eowyn. As assessments continue, teams are working diligently to address any damages and ensure future matches can proceed safely.
