The Scottish Premier League will leave any decisions over fixtures until later in the week following their blanket postponement last week. All six Clydesdale Bank Premier League games were postponed on Wednesday afternoon last week amid snowfall across Scotland.

Most managers backed the early decision, which was made for safety reasons to prevent fans travelling in dangerous conditions.

SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster insists safety will be the overriding concern again but a similar decision is unlikely tomorrow despite a worsening of conditions on Monday with hundreds of motorists stuck in their vehicles overnight.

"At the top of our priorities we have to have supporters' welfare," Doncaster told BBC Scotland.

"Although the forecast is for very cold weather overnight on Tuesday and Wednesday, it is thought there will be a considerable thaw towards the end of the week so we will be reviewing that over the next 48 hours before we make any final decisions.

"We have to bear in mind that clubs want to get fixtures away."

The weather has already disrupted action this week with all 14 midweek fixtures in the Scottish Football League and Scottish Cup postponed.
