SAINTS will face Dunfermline on Tuesday, March 17 in their rearranged First Division fixture.

And Perth fans should note that the home game planned for April 18 against Queen of the South has been moved back to the Sunday (April 19) with a 3.15pm kick-off.

It is one of three matches selected for live coverage by BBC ALBA, in a deal struck with the SFA.

BBC ALBA is a partnership between the BBC and MG ALBA, the Gaelic Media Service.

Perth-based David Longmuir, chief executive of the SFL, said: “MG ALBA has been an excellent broadcast partner since it became sponsor of The Challenge Cup last year.

“I am delighted that the new TV channel recognises the excitement, passion and community values that the Scottish Football League can offer, and I look forward to developing this relationship in the months ahead.”

The deal also includes live coverage of Airdrie United v Clyde and Partick Thistle v Dundee.
