Station Park tie off
St Johnstone’s Scottish Cup tie at Forfar fell victim to the bitter weather today as the Arctic conditions began to take its toll on the weekend fixture list (writes James Masson)
A morning inspection at Station Park only confirmed what most people already feared — that Saturday’s clash between the Tayside pair had no chance of going ahead.

Meanwhile, the weather forced Saints to train indoors today. Stuart McCaffrey returned following his injury, but Steven Anderson, Graham Gartland and Steven Milne are still out.

Gartland and Milne are expected to be OK in the next few days, though.

Boss Derek McInnes is happy at the form shown by Gary Irvine since he made his return to the side. His first-team opportunities have been limited due to the fine displays of Dave Mackay at right-back, but, since Dave switched to the centre of the defence, Gary has come in at right-back.

“Gary was desperate to get involved, but had to show patience. He’s performed admirably,” said Derek.
