Dundee vs Rangers pitch update ahead of Dens Park Scottish Premiership clash

Dundee are confident that tonight's fixture against Rangers will go ahead as planned.

The City of Discovery has been pelted with rain today with a yellow weather warning in place across the area.

Videos have circulated online this afternoon of the drenched Dens Park surface, with one corner looking extremely wet, but despite this, the club are positive that the match will not be called off.

A source inside Dens Park has told us that the pitch is playable and the match will go ahead as planned barring any major weather changes leading up to kick-off.

Dundee confirmed earlier in the day they were monitoring the pitch with the Scottish Premiership clash set to get underway at 7:45pm tonight, but no further updates are expected from the club this afternoon.

A statement read: "Dundee Football Club are currently monitoring the weather conditions due to the recent heavy rainfall.

"As it currently stands the club are optimistic that this evening’s match against Rangers at The Scot Foam Stadium at Dens Park will go ahead as planned.

"If there are any updates or changes regarding tonight’s match the club will update supporters through the club website and social media channels."

A Rangers statement added: "Rangers are in contact with Dundee regarding this evening’s match.

"We will update supporters as soon as possible should anything change."
