Dundee to be ‘hammered’ by SPFL after Rangers’ call off as repeated pitch sins see vital rule broken -Might even land a five-figure fine over the standard of the pitch

Dundee will be “hammered” by the SPFL after their match against Rangers was canceled.

The late postponement of the Scottish Premiership encounter at noon denied the Light Blues the chance to return to the top of the table,

with Celtic leading the way into the international break,

with heavy weather on Tayside thwarting the prospects of the vital fixture taking place.

Dundee have lost their fourth home game of the season,

leaving Philippe Clement unhappy after warning league officials about the quality of the Dens Park field.

It was the only game in the SPFL to be postponed due to inclement weather,

and the league’s governing board appears to have taken a dim view, announcing an investigation into the occurrence.

According to the Daily Mail, there is “every chance the Tayside club will be brought to book over the fiasco”.

According to the SPFL rules, each club must ensure that the field of play at its registered ground and

any other ground where it is the home club for a league match or play-off match is smooth,

in excellent shape, and in repair.

And it is fitted with an efficient and effective drainage system to prevent flooding from rendering it unplayable.

During the SPL period, Motherwell was fined a five-figure sum for pitch standards violations.

The Steelmen were fined £50,000 in 2010.
