Ross County vs Hibernian suspended due to waterlogged pitch

Ross County vs Hibernian has been suspended due to a waterlogged pitch.

A pitch inspection was scheduled for 10am on Saturday morning where it was ruled that the fixture was unable to take place in Dingwall after heavy rain overnight in the Highlands.

All other fixtures are currently set to go ahead as planned.

Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers has welcomed the return of the Green Brigade to Parkhead for the upcoming clash against Livingston.

Members of the group had been unable to attend home or away matches since the end of October.

However, the bitter feud between the club and the group appears to have ceased with the Green Brigade ready to return to their usual standing section.

The issue between the two parties has reportedly been resolved with an updated code of conduct for the section of the stadium that houses the Green Brigade signed off.

And Rodgers hopes the atmosphere will be strong against David Martindale's men.

He said: "Celtic's history is littered with late goals and a big part of that is down to the fans and the whole stadium getting behind the team. That's what makes Celtic.

"When you have the manager, the supporters and the players all on the same page it's a real force.

"But we know when the atmosphere is white hot at Celtic it makes it a really difficult place to come, and it gives the players the extra edge as well. Listen for the guys to be back in there it's great.

"They have given an ambience in that corner section. The club gave them that opportunity to have the first safe standing area in Britain, so hopefully they can get back in tomorrow and support the team.

"It's their responsibility as well as the whole stadium to really get behind the team to help us get the result.
