Penicuik Athletic said their Scottish Cup tie with Clyde at Montgomery Park is expected to go ahead on Tuesday after the community rallied to clear storm debris from the pitch. The game had been scheduled for Friday in front of the BBC cameras but was called off due to a waterlogged surface.
Volunteers begin clear-up
Club president Andy Penman said around 30 volunteers have offered to begin the clear up on Monday evening.
Penman said: "The ground on one side is surrounded by fairly old trees and there is a substantial amount of debris strewn across about 50% of the pitch."
Penman said: "We've had branches coming down and actually going into the surface vertically."
Condition of the pitch
High winds of Storm Boelo came after the postponement.
Penman said: "Underneath it all, the pitch is in fine condition. The rain that was lying on Friday has disappeared very quickly."
Match context
Capacity 1300 tickets were sold for the 19:45 GMT kick-off.

Penman on the tie
