The Scottish Premiership title race faced a sudden twist on Wednesday when the highly anticipated match between Dundee and Rangers was suddenly postponed at Dens Park due to a failed pitch inspection. This unexpected turn of events marked the second postponement in recent times.
The day started with an optimistic note as referee Don Robertson deemed the pitch playable at 11 am. However, the persistent heavy rain throughout the day ultimately led to the decision to call off the match. The rescheduled game is now set to take place next Wednesday, April 17th.
The postponement could have significant ramifications for the title race, particularly for Celtic. With their upcoming home game against St Mirren, Celtic has the chance to widen their lead at the top of the table to four points. This potential scenario may heap pressure on Rangers, who are due to play Ross County away on Sunday.
Rangers are now seeking the SPFL to take action against Dundee, alleging multiple rule violations leading up to the game.
