A "major gas leak at Cappielow" has forced Sunday's Scottish Championship game between Greenock Morton and Raith Rovers to be postponed.It follows three matches in Scottish League 1 and two in League 2 that were called off on Saturday because of either a frozen pitch or snow.Morton said on their website: "Services are on hand to fix the issue, but we have been advised this will not be fixed in time for tomorrow's match."The pitch is also still suffering from the low temperatures this week and would have been against the clock to be fit for tomorrow."Three fixtures in the second tier were moved from Saturday in anticipation of the freezing conditions. In addition to the match in Greenock, Dunfermline Athletic v Ayr United and Livingston v Airdrieonians were moved to Tuesday (both 19:45 GMT).In League 1, Saturday's games between Annan Athletic v Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Dumbarton v Arbroath were postponed because of frozen pitches, while Cove Rangers v Montrose was snowed off.In the fourth tier, frozen pitches caused the postponements of Bonnyrigg Rose v Stranraer and Stirling Albion v Spartans.That leaves one game left in the Championship - Falkirk v Queen's Park - on Saturday along with two in League 1, including Kelty Hearts v Stenhousemuir live on BBC Alba, and three in League 2.There are three Premiership games on Saturday and two on Sunday.
