Inverness Caley Thistle's match at Greenock Morton called off amid travel safety concerns

Caley Thistle fans will be spared a trip south through storm-battered Scotland tomorrow after the Championship clash away to Greenock Morton was called off.

With Storm Babet prompting extensive weather warnings, the SPFL have acted on Police Scotland advice to postpone the match.

A Caley Thistle spokesman said: "We can confirm that due to travel issues, Police Scotland advice and the extensive national weather warnings, the SPFL have postponed tomorrow's fixture at Greenock Morton.

"We would like to thank the league for this swift, pragmatic and common sense decision."

A Morton spokesman said: "We can confirm that tomorrow’s match with Inverness C.T. has been postponed by the SPFL due safety concerns and Police Scotland advice.

"With weather warnings in place across much of the North and East of the country, Police Scotland have issued advice against travel which therefore raises safety concerns for the travelling side.

"While we are fully appreciative of the circumstances and the police advice not to travel, we have huge sympathy with our own supporters who just a fortnight ago had to either battle the elements to get to Hampden or couldn’t get out of Inverclyde to make the game. This included one of our players who was unable to reach Hampden due to the weather.

"All tickets purchased for tomorrow’s match will remain valid for the rearranged fixture or refunds will also be available on request.

"Details for the rearranged fixture will follow in due course."
