Called off last Saturday due to a waterlogged MacKessack Park pitch, the game now takes place on April 23.

The clubs have also agreed to kick-off the game early at 2pm.

The Highland League season was scheduled to finish this Saturday but due to the weather, two of Rothes' fixtures will spill over into the following week.

The Speysiders host Inverurie Locos on Wednesday and are away to Formartine United on Saturday.

The following Tuesday they welcome Fort William to MacKessack Park then finish with the Keith derby on the last Saturday.

With Fort William confirmed as the bottom team this season, they will face North Junior Superleague champions Banks o' Dee over two legs in a Highland League play-off match.
