SHOCKING! Philippe Clement accuses Dundee game of tarnishing Premiership’s reputation

April 9, 2024

Philippe Clement expressed his frustration with the uncertain situation facing Rangers as they prepared to face Dundee in their rescheduled fixture. The match had been called off last month just before kick-off, leading to confusion and disappointment for both clubs.

Dundee’s game against Motherwell went ahead after a second pitch inspection, with concerns raised about player welfare due to the conditions of the field. Despite Dundee’s managing director expressing confidence that the game against Rangers would go ahead, contingency plans were being considered for a possible rescheduling.

Clement, eager for a resolution, stated that he would be open to playing the game at a neutral ground if necessary to ensure it took place before the split. He criticized the uncertainty and unpredictability of the situation, highlighting the impact on both teams and the reputation of the league.

With key players sidelined due to injuries, including Ryan Jack facing a potentially season-ending setback, Clement emphasized the need for a prompt decision to allow for adequate preparation. He urged for clarity on the scheduling of the game, questioning the viability of playing in Dundee if weather conditions continued to pose a threat.

As Rangers made their way to Dundee, Clement called for a decision to be made in advance of the game to avoid wasted time and resources in the event of a cancellation. His concerns about the lack of certainty surrounding the match echoed the frustrations felt by fans and players alike as they awaited a resolution.

I acknowledge that games can be canceled last minute, especially in extreme weather conditions, but this has become a recurring issue every time it rains, prompting the need for an evaluation to be made today.
Clement expressed concern that long-term absentees Danilo and Oscar Cortes may not be able to return before the end of the season.
