Saints clash with Dundee called of because of torrential rain

Dundee Saints Stephen Robinson

St Mirren's clash with Dundee has fallen foul of the weather for the second time.

The Buddies were set to travel to Dens Park this afternoon with Stephen Robinson preparing for his first game in charge since replacing Jim Goodwin yesterday morning.

The Saints knew a win this evening would have lifted them to fourth in the Premiership table.

But due to torrential rainfall in Dundee, a pitch inspection was carried out at 2.30pm.

And after deeming the pitch unplayable at that point, officials decided to call the already rearranged game off.

The match will now be scheduled at a later date, with Robinson's debut as St Mirren boss now taking place in Paisley this weekend when the Buddies welcome Hearts to the SMISA Stadium.
