Rangers vs. Dundee has been rescheduled: The reason for the cancellation of a Scottish Premiership game was…
The local referee examined the pitch at 9.15 a.m. on Sunday before match official
Don Robertson declared it unplayable an hour later. Rangers criticized the late decision to call off the game,
claiming they were “angered” by the lack of communication.
The SPFL will look into the situation after Dundee vs. Rangers was called off due to a waterlogged pitch.
Referee Don Robertson declared after two pitch inspections that the game could not proceed due to a wet pitch.
Philippe Clement’s team was scheduled to play at noon and needed a victory to regain their league-leading position.
Dundee has now had four home postponements in the Scottish Premiership this season due to the most recent cancellation.
“This was particularly disappointing given the fact that it was a live Sky Sports match and the proximity of the match to the split,”
the SPFL said in a statement, adding that they will now be “investigating the circumstances surrounding this postponement.
” The primary issue, according to match official Robertson, was an area in front of one of the dugouts that had been
sanded but was still too wet to be considered safe, he told Sky Sports.
“I was aware Dundee and the ground staff were working very hard on that specific area
of the pitch as well as others causing them concern,” he stated.
