Dundee vs Rangers to undergo pitch inspection amid major fears over Dens Park postponement which could cause chaos

RANGERS’ crucial Premiership visit to Dundee is to undergo a pitch inspection tomorrow morning.

The rain has been teeming down on Tayside today on a pitch which has already seen FOUR matches postponed.

And now it’s been announced that match referee Don Robertson will run his rule over the surroundings at 11am tomorrow morning.

The clash with Dee was originally meant to be played on Sunday, 17 March but it was called-off just 90 minutes before kick-off after the pitch was deemed unplayable.

The pitch dominated in the build-up to Dundee’s match with Motherwell on Saturday.

It was given the go-ahead on the morning of the game, despite serious reservations about the safety of the surface from Well boss Stuart Kettlewell.

Numerous contingencies were understood to have been put in place, ranging from a Sunday kick-off to a behind closed doors clash at Aidrie.

And it’s similar topics dominating the discussion again as the Rangers game arrives.

Dundee chief John Nelms suggested the only contingency to play the game would be next midweek- but league bosses are determined that the battle for the final top six spot unfolds this weekend.

That leaves open the possibility of the match being pushed back 24 hours – or even played behind closed doors.
