MORTON fans have been given an extra date for the diary as their postponed match against Raith Rovers has been rescheduled.

Ton were due to face off against the Kirkcaldy side on January 11, before a cold snap engulfed much of Scotland and wiped out most of that weekend's fixture card.

It was the second of two postponements (Image: alex craig) The tie had initially been moved back 24 hours to Sunday, January 12, to give the Cappielow pitch the best chance of beating the freeze, before a 'major gas leak' found within Cappielow forced staff to call the relevant authorities.

The leak wasn't able to be fixed in time for kick off on January 12 which left officials with no choice but to postpone the match.

It was the second of consecutive Cappielow postponements, following on from Ton's clash against Hamilton Accies being called off seven days earlier due to a frozen pitch.

Now the Championship clash has been moved to the end of March, as Ton attempt to play catch up on their peers and continue their assault up the Championship table.

Dougie Imrie's men will face Barry Robson's side on Tuesday, March 25 with a 7.45pm kick off.

It is the second of three games that'll be played at Cappielow in seven days, after being pencilled in between clashes with Queen's Park and Partick Thistle.

A club statement said: "A new date has been agreed for our postponed match against Raith Rovers in the William Hill Championship.

"Postponed on Saturday, January, 11our home fixture against Raith Rovers has now been rearranged for Tuesday, March 25 with a 7.45pm kick-off.

"All tickets purchased for the original date will remain valid for the new date in March."
