Aberdeen vs Celtic rearranged to new date, SPFL announce
The Aberdeen vs Celtic match was postponed due to 30 days of rain causing a waterlogged pitch, with the rescheduled game set for March 4 at 8pm, Sky Sports to broadcast.
Following the postponement on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, the SPFL announced the Aberdeen v Celtic match will be played on March 4 at 8pm, televised by Sky Sports.
After about 30 consecutive days of rain, Aberdeen asked for an earlier pitch inspection around 1.30pm but no official was available, and Greg Soutar postponed the game for player safety.
Celtic said in a club statement that they regret the late postponement and have asked the SPFL to clarify if the Pitch Inspection Protocol was followed.
Alan Burrows apologised for the late call-off, noting some supporters had already set off, and the fixture is now three days after March 1 and before the Scottish Cup quarter-final.
Alongside that postponement, the SPFL noted other changes including Dundee v Motherwell also called off on Wednesday and alternative dates to be confirmed.
