Two of Saturday's Irish Premiership matches have been postponed due to frozen pitches.

The game between Portadown and Cliftonville at Shamrock Park was also called off following a pitch inspection at Shamrock Park.

Saturday's three other games including Carrick Rangers' home game against title challengers Glentoran, are still set to go ahead as planned.

A yellow weather warning for snow and ice in Northern Ireland began at 15:00 GMT on Friday and is due to last until noon on Saturday.

That will be followed by another yellow warning - again for snow and ice - that comes into effect as the first warning ends and will last until noon on Monday.
