Dundee United’s home Premiership match against St Johnstone will undergo a second pitch inspection.
The Tannadice surface was checked at noon and the decision was made to have a further look at 1.30 pm.
UPDATE: There will be a further inspection at 1.30pm due to an area of the pitch thawing slower than the rest.
