FINALLY: Dundee handed six-figure fine by SPFL after Dens Park controversy

The Scottish Premiership has fined Dundee £186,000 in response to the dispute surrounding the postponed matchup between Rangers and Celtics at Dens Park.

Confirmed by the official SPFL website, Dundee acknowledged five distinct infractions of the

Dens Park pitch’s regulations, the most recent of which being the Rangers match.

The match was originally scheduled to take place on March 17th for Philippe Clement’s team

against Dundee. However, it was postponed, and on April 17th, it finally took place.

“SPFL Rules on pitch condition are an integral part of maintaining a fair league competition,

” stated an SPFL spokesperson.

Rangers left frustrated by Dundee saga at Dens Park

To the delight of Chris Sutton, Clement was so agitated by the ongoing uncertainty surrounding

this encounter that he felt it had negatively impacted the team’s preparations for the 3-2 loss

to Ross County at Dingwall.

The story had received a lot of attention, with players like Simon Jordan taking to the mic to

criticise Rangers for their involvement in it all and accuse them of not playing the match in th

e lead-up to the 3-3 Old Firm tie at Ibrox.

Not only that, but it would have dealt a serious damage to Rangers’ feelings and the current title

chase to finally get to play the match a month after it was originally scheduled to happen and limp

to a dismal 0-0 tie.

The most annoying thing will probably be the draw because Clement’s squad let Celtic stay

three points ahead of them at the top of the league, giving Brendan Rodgers’ club the opportunity

to win the championship.

Tom English made fun of Fabio Silva during the 0-0 tie, in other Rangers news.
