The Scottish Premier League have just released a press statement regarding this weekend's fixtures.

It reads as follows:

The following games, scheduled for Saturday 11 December, have been postponed on the advice of the respective local Police:

• Celtic v Kilmarnock
• Dundee United v Motherwell

On the announcement, Neil Doncaster, Chief Executive of the SPL, said: “I am slightly surprised that the Police have issued advice so early, especially when a substantial thaw is forecast over the next two days. However, when Police advice is on the grounds of safety, we have no choice but to postpone the games.”

New dates for the fixtures will be announced in due course.

There remain concerns regarding the Hamilton Academical v Hibernian game and a decision will be taken no earlier than tomorrow, following an inspection of New Douglas Park.

The remaining three Clydesdale Bank Premier League fixtures this weekend are expected to take place as scheduled.  These are:

• Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Rangers (12.45pm, Live on SKY Sports)
