Tonight's World Cup qualifier between Serbia and Scotland has been given the go-ahead by the match official.

The encounter had been thrown into doubt because of heavy overnight snowfall in Eastern Europe.

However, a large number of supporters from both countries arrived at the ground in Novi Sad earlier today to help clear the snow that had settled on the playing surface.

As a result, following an inspection, it has been deemed that the playing surface is fit for the game to take place.
