Celtic v Dundee under threat as Arbroath v Kelty called off

Celtic say they cannot guarantee that Saturday’s Scottish Premiership visit by Dundee will go ahead because Storm Eowyn has “caused some damage” to their stadium.

The League 1 match between Arbroath and Kelty Hearts had earlier been postponed following damage at Gayfield Park.

Celtic say that “a full assessment and decision will be made as early as possible” on Saturday morning at Celtic Park, where the match is due to kick-off at 15:00 GMT.

“Our stadium and safety staff are currently unable to fully assess the extent of the damage due to the ongoing extreme conditions,” Celtic said in a website statement.

“In light of this, and in order that we communicate fully and openly with our fans, in the interests of supporter safety, we are unable to confirm at this stage whether the match tomorrow between Celtic and Dundee will be able to proceed.”

Weather warnings are in place throughout Scotland because of Storm Eowyn, but Saturday and Sunday’s other Scottish Professional Football League fixtures remain scheduled to go ahead.

Ayr United said on X regarding their home Championship meeting with Partick Thistle: “There is currently no reported damage to Somerset Park following the ongoing storm.

“Staff will be attending the stadium early tomorrow to review ahead of the match.”

Meanwhile, Greenock Morton general manager Dale Pryde-MacDonald has confirmed there has been “significant damage” to Cappielow Park.

Morton are scheduled to be away from home on Saturday, against second-tier opponents Queen’s Park, and Pryde-MacDonald said “a full and accurate assessment of the damage will be conducted in the coming days”.
