Referee Don Robertson has discussed the chances of Dundee vs Rangers going ahead tonight as fears over the weather continue.
The re-arranged Scottish Premiership match is scheduled to kick-off at 8pm. However, fears around whether the Dens Park pitch will be playable because of current adverse weather conditions in the Tayside area have cast some doubt over the clash.
Dundee have already had four ties called off this season due to a troubled pitch and Robertson admitted that's why he wanted to have sufficient time to assess the situation. "Obviously, there have been some issues with the pitch recently. I wanted to come up early and have an early sight of the pitch. At the moment, it's playable. I'm quite comfortable that the pitch is playable and safe for the players to play."All areas of the pitch including areas where there were concerns a couple of weeks ago when the match was postponed and subsequently, that's the situation just now as we stand.
