"There will be a pitch inspection at Dumbarton Stadium tomorrow at 1pm ahead of @Dumbartonfc v @RangersFC in the @scottishgas Men's Scottish Cup Fourth Round."
A cold snap has threatened unplayable conditions across the country with frosty temperatures and snow in some areas of Scotland.
It comes after the match between Brora Rangers and Cove Rangers was called off due to the surface being unplayable with heavy snow covering the pitch.
A Scottish Cup post stated: "GAME OFF. Following a pitch inspection today, @brorarangers v @CoveRangersFC has been postponed.
"The Fourth Round tie will now be played on Tuesday, 23 January at 7.45pm."
