Dundee United face playing four matches in 14 days on their weather-beaten Tannadice Park pitch after a request for postponed games to be rearranged for later dates was turned down. United will host Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership on Tuesday, 24 February, while the visit by St Mirren will be on Tuesday 3 March. Jim Goodwin's side were already due to host League 2 outfit Spartans in a rearranged Scottish Cup last-16 tie next Tuesday - and Kilmarnock in the league four days later.

It is extremely regrettable that the match against Aberdeen was postponed, particularly at such a late stage. While we understand the decision, clearly we sympathise with our supporters, many of whom had begun making their journeys or had arrived in Aberdeen already. We have raised the matter with the SPFL, to understand whether the SPFL pitch inspection protocol was followed correctly. In our view, there must be the ability to make earlier decisions on matches.
