Rab Douglas is the first man out on the park, he's testing the conditions.
I see one match going ahead with something to play for today has fallen victim of the weather. Champions St. Johnstone's trip to Airdrie who could potentially be involved in the play offs which start on Wednesday has been called off. |

The few fans in the ground already are all sporting headwear but more because it's freezing than the day out i think. |
