Spartans Scottish Cup journey brought to a halt by the weather
Spartans suffered Scottish Cup disappointment after their fifth-round trip to play Premiership outfit Dundee United was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
Persistent and heavy rain over the past week saw a pitch inspection scheduled for 9.30am on Saturday morning and, despite the Tannadice ground staff's best efforts, the match was postponed.
The rearranged fixture will now see Dougie Samuel's men travel to Tayside on Wednesday, February 17, with a 7.45pm kick-off.
Meanwhile, Edinburgh City remain two points adrift at the bottom of League Two after a 2-0 defeat to East Kilbride.
A first-half brace from Bobby McLuckie at Meadowbank gave the visitors all three points that consigned the Citizens to an eighth league defeat of the season.
However, Forfar overcame Dumbarton 2-0 as the Sons failed to increase the gap over the Capital outfit.
Manager Michael McIndoe said: "I thought we controlled large parts of the game and the boys were really good. We're still gelling, there's still a few tactical things they are learning as a group, but I saw a lot of positives.
"There were a couple of times we switched off and they were clinical and punished us, but we missed a penalty and have had three or four really good chances. I think it's the first time we've not scored in a league game since last April or May, which is a phenomenal stat for such a young group."
Meanwhile, Bonnyrigg Rose are four points clear at the top of the Lowland League after a 4-0 victory over East Stirlingshire at New Dundas Park.
Josh Laing's goal gave the hosts a well-deserved lead at the break before Alassan Jones, Jay McGarva, and former Hearts attacker Billy King, put the icing on the cake with a fourth.
Head coach Jonny Stewart said: "I thought we played really well - scored four goals, kept a clean sheet and, most importantly, picked up all three points. Conditions were difficult but we played some really good football."
