Tannadice has been severely impacted by recent weather conditions, resulting in significant damage to the pitch.

The Scottish Premiership match between Dundee United and Aberdeen has been postponed due to the unplayable state of the Tannadice pitch, which has been waterlogged.

Following a pitch inspection at 13:00 GMT on Wednesday, the match referee determined that the surface posed a risk to player safety, leading to the decision to postpone the game.

Dundee United issued an apology to supporters of both teams, citing the inconvenience caused by the postponement, and stated that details regarding the rescheduled fixture would be announced at a later time.

On Tuesday, the club described the situation as "fluid" as they worked to mitigate the effects of heavy rainfall, which had already led to the cancellation of their Scottish Cup tie against Spartans just five days prior.

According to Dundee United, the match against Aberdeen could have proceeded if it had been scheduled 24 hours earlier, but the forecast indicated significant rainfall in the subsequent 24 hours, prompting caution.

Focus shifts to the Motherwell vs Rangers match and the performances of O'Neill and Nygren.

Questions are being raised about the delay in Aberdeen's appointment of a new manager.

The KDM Evolution Trophy quarter-final between St Johnstone and Ayr United, scheduled for Tuesday, was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

Aberdeen's cup tie against Motherwell, set for Saturday evening at Pittodrie, was also cancelled, as was their home match against Celtic the previous Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Dundee United noted that the north-east region of Scotland had experienced unusually high levels of rainfall during the recent winter months.

The combination of this rainfall, a congested fixture schedule, and the club's commitment to fulfilling matches has put considerable strain on the Tannadice pitch.

To mitigate the effects of the weather, various pitch-protection measures were implemented, allowing some fixtures to proceed despite the heavy rainfall.

However, these measures have had an unavoidable impact on the pitch's appearance, resulting in a compromised playing surface.

Dundee United considered this compromise necessary to ensure the continuity of their home fixtures during an exceptionally challenging period of weather conditions.

A robbery in Falkirk has resulted in charges being brought against two 15-year-old males, following an incident in which a 94-year-old woman was assaulted and robbed.

The incident occurred at approximately 12:55 on Monday, at the intersection of Hope Street and Meeks Road, where the woman's handbag was taken during the altercation.

Law enforcement officials had previously released details of two individuals seen fleeing the scene around the time of the incident, seeking assistance in identifying them.

Police Scotland has expressed gratitude to the community for providing information that ultimately led to the apprehension of the two suspects.

An explosion in Dunfermline resulted in the closure of several roads, after a manhole cover was dislodged due to the blast.

Surveillance footage captured the incident, which occurred on Townhill Road, providing visual evidence of the event.

In addition to Townhill Road, Albany Street, Bellyeoman Road, and Leys Park Road were also closed temporarily, although Albany Street has since been reopened, allowing residents to return to their homes.

Authorities advised the public to steer clear of the affected area, with both police and fire services responding to the incident and attending the scene.
