City were due to travel to Recreation Park in East Ayrshire tomorrow night after the initial tie on Saturday was called off due to a waterlogged pitch.
Another pitch inspection was carried out at 4.30pm today by the SFA but, with a combination of the pitch conditions and the weather warnings over the coming days, the decision was made to postpone the fixture once again.
East Ayrshire has been placed under a weather warning for heavy snow tomorrow afternoon, with strong winds also forecast.
