Aberdeen's own cup meeting with Motherwell at Pittodrie on Saturday evening was also called off, as was their league meeting with Celtic last Wednesday. "The weather across northeast Scotland has seen unprecedented levels of rainfall throughout the recent winter months," United say. "This has been the necessary compromise in ensuring continuity across an exceptionally demanding run of home fixtures during extraordinary weather conditions." United stress that staff have worked "extensively to improve conditions and prepare the pitch for upcoming matches" since the cup postponement. "As of 1pm today, the pitch is deemed playable and, were a fixture to take place this evening, there would be little concern regarding its playability," they add.
