Carluke Rovers boss Mark Weir: High winds should have led to game call-off
The matches involving local rivals Lesmahagow Juniors, Lanark United and Forth Wanderers were all put off as the effects of Storm Dennis wreaked havoc.
Weir said: “I don’t think the game should have gone ahead with the wind.

“I remember a few years ago we were playing Benburb, up at Carluke, and the game lasted 25 minutes.
“We were 1-0 up and the game was abandoned. They took a by kick and it went backwards, straight up and over the goals for a corner kick!”
Weir said he was unhappy with the players’ attitude against Port Glasgow.
“They wanted it more than us,” he said. “It was a bad day.”
