A HOST of West of Scotland Football League clubs have seen their fixtures for Saturday postponed - almost 24 hours in advance - as freezing temperatures strike Scotland.
Among the matches to have fallen victim to the sub-zero conditions is a tasty-looking West of Scotland Football League derby at Loch Park, where Glenafton were due to host rivals Cumnock Juniors in the Premier Division in what would have been Ryan Caddis's first match as Glens manager.
However, on Friday afternoon it was announced the game had been postponed "due to the adverse weather conditions".
