Scottish Premier League Roudup, Jan. 2
Charlie Mulgrew scored to give Aberdeen a 1-0 win over Dundee
United in the Scottish Premier League on Saturday as 16 games over
all four divisions were canceled due to heavy snow and freezing
temperatures.
Mulgrew fired a left-footed shot into the bottom corner of
the net from the edge of the penalty area in the 15th minute.
Aberdeen was reduced to 10 men when Davide Grassi was sent
off in the 64th. It was Aberdeen's seventh red card this season.
In the only other game played, St. Mirren beat Kilmarnock 1-0
thanks to Chris Innes' headed goal in the 81st.
The Scottish Premier League games between Falkirk and St.
Johnstone and Motherwell and Hamilton were postponed due to frozen
pitches.
The big game of the weekend is Sunday's Glasgow derby. League
leader Rangers travels to second-place Celtic seven points clear at
the top of the standings, having played a game more.
Rangers won 2-1 in the first match between the rivals in
October and is in good form, scoring 20 goals in its last four
games, including seven in Wednesday's rout of Dundee United.
