Penicuik Athletic v Clyde Scottish Cup tie postponed due to heavy rain
Friday's Scottish Cup second-round match between Penicuik Athletic and Clyde was called off because of heavy rain, with a provisional rearranged date set for Saturday, 31 October.
Friday's Scottish Cup second-round tie between Penicuik Athletic and Clyde has been postponed because of heavy rain. The match had been due to take place at Montgomery Park and was scheduled to be shown live on BBC digital platforms.
A provisional rearranged date of Saturday, 31 October at 15:00 GMT has been set for the fixture. The postponement leaves both clubs waiting on the weather to clear before the tie can go ahead.
The call-off comes as a busy weekend of Scottish football approaches, with 19 more second-round ties scheduled for Saturday. The Scottish FA, which organises the competition, has released a list of potential rearranged dates should this weekend's wet and windy weather lead to further call-offs.
Elsewhere, 14 SPFL fixtures are also due to be played on Saturday, with two Premiership games scheduled for Sunday. The governing body's contingency planning suggests officials expect the weather to pose a risk across the weekend's programme.
The postponement is a disappointment for supporters of both clubs, who had been looking forward to the televised tie, though the provisional new date offers a clear route to rescheduling the match.
