Northern Ireland have seen their World Cup qualifying match with Russia in Belfast postponed due to snow.

The game had been scheduled to take place on Friday evening, but the city was hit by heavy snow overnight.

An early pitch inspection could not determine whether the pitch at Windsor Park was playable, so a second inspection was arranged for later in the day.

However, with the snow still falling, the decision was made to call the game off, with the fixture being rearranged for Saturday afternoon.

The postponement marks the first occasion that a competitive international fixture has been cancelled in Belfast because of the weather.
