SPFL games called off because of Covid rise by two to five on Sunday

Partick Thistle's last three games have now been postponed

Covid-19 cases have forced two more of Sunday's games to be postponed in the Scottish Professional Football League, taking the total to five.

The governing body announced on Sunday morning that the Alloa Athletic v Falkirk League 1 match and Kelty Hearts v Cowdenbeath in League 2 were now off.

It had announced on Saturday it had granted requests from Partick Thistle and Queen's Park to postpone games.

Edinburgh City had their League 2 called off on Friday.

They were due to host Albion Rovers, Thistle were to host Greenock Morton in the Championship, with Queen's Park visiting Clyde in League 1.

The latest requests had come from Falkirk and Cowdenbeath, with all the clubs involved saying they do not have sufficient players available to fulfil the fixtures because of Covid cases.

Three games survive in each of the Championship, League 1 and League 2.

BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound will have live commentary from Gayfield Park, where second-tier leaders Arbroath host an Inverness Caledonian Thistle side sitting second, three points behind but with a game in hand.

Fourth-top Raith Rovers host Fife rivals Dunfermline Athletic, who sit second bottom, while Queen of the South entertain Hamilton Academical.

Cove Rangers, who lead League 1 by five points, visit Peterhead in another local derby, with second-top Montrose away to bottom side East Fife, while third-placed Airdrieonians against second-bottom Dumbarton is an early kick-off at 13:30 GMT.

With League 2 leaders Kelty's Fife derby being postponed, Forfar Athletic have a chance to narrow the seven-point gap as they visit second-bottom Elgin City.

Third-placed Annan Athletic are at Stranraer, while Stenhousemuir visit Stirling Albion.
