Dundee vs Rangers: Second pitch inspection called at Dens Park due to heavy rain forecast

Dundee's rearranged Scottish Premiership match at home to Rangers will undergo a second pitch inspection at 3.30pm. There was an initial check just before 11am by match referee Don Robertson who declared the Dens Park surface was playable. However, with heavy rain expected in the area later in the afternoon, another inspection will be required. The areas of concern remained under heavy covers on Tuesday and have been protected again following the initial check.

We got that game on and the pitch didn't look pretty but it played well. It was safe under foot and the ball rolled and bounced the way it should do. 'The covers are on and we have heavier covers on the areas that caused a little bit of an issue. The plan is to keep those covers on, continue the work the groundsmen have been doing and we'll see what happens in the next 24 hours.
