Derby's Championship clash against local rivals Nottingham Forest at Pride Park has been rescheduled for Tuesday March 13.

The East Midlands derby was postponed on Sunday just hours before the lunchtime kick-off for safety reasons.

Heavy snow on Saturday night left roads and pavements around Pride Park dangerous and the club called off the fixture after discussions with the match officials, police, the Football League and Forest.

Derby had their sights on completing a league double over Forest for the first time in 40 years. They beat the Reds 2-1 at the City Ground in September, despite playing with 10 men for almost the entire game following Frank Fielding's second-minute red card.

Andy Reid's penalty gave Forest a fifth-minute lead before the Rams hit back with goals from Jamie Ward and Jeff Hendrick to clinch victory.

The re-arranged fixture will kick-off at 7.45pm.
