Spfl Pitch Inspection At Cappielow Leaves Greenock Morton v Partick Thistle Match Cleared To Go On

The spfl has confirmed that the William Hill Championship match between Greenock Morton and Partick Thistle will take place as scheduled on Friday March 13, 2026, after a pitch inspection concluded at 4: 00 pm ET.

Spfl Pitch Inspection Decision

A pitch inspection was held at Cappielow at 4: 00 pm ET to assess the surface following a period of heavy rainfall and snow showers. The inspection ended with the fixture given the green light and the match listed as “Game ON” for the scheduled kickoff. The decision authorises the clubs to proceed with the televised meeting as arranged.

Weather, Travel Disruption and Ticketing

Brutal overnight conditions brought travel disruption in some parts of Scotland earlier in the day, with the Inverclyde area hit by snow showers and heavy rain. Greenock Morton issued a notice stating that heavy rainfall had fallen over the course of the previous day, overnight and into the day of the game, and that a precautionary pitch inspection was scheduled for 4: 00 pm ET with a further update to follow once the check concluded. Tickets for the match remain on sale online.

Televised Fixture And What Comes Next

The match will be shown live on broadcast television as scheduled. With the inspection complete and the fixture cleared to go ahead, the focus now turns to match-day operations and supporter travel. Organisers and the clubs have indicated that any additional updates will be issued after the inspection, and fans are advised to follow official club communications for final arrangements and local guidance. The spfl listing marks the fixture as confirmed for the date and status that were set prior to the inspection.

The outcome of the pitch check removes immediate uncertainty for both teams and supporters ahead of this key Championship meeting, but the earlier weather disruption underlines the potential for late changes in similar fixtures if conditions deteriorate.
