Martin Keown has strongly criticized Dundee following the second postponement of the Rangers fixture due to a substandard pitch. Discussions are now underway with three other SPFL clubs to potentially host the rescheduled game in case Dens Park remains unfit.

Calls have been made for Dundee to rectify the situation, with the SPFL considering fines and a hearing. Keown, speaking on talkSPORT, expressed his incredulity, labeling the situation as embarrassing and highlighting the lack of planning on Dundee’s part.

Dundee must be held accountable for this debacle. Their failure to adequately maintain the pitch led to two waterlogged postponements, causing not just inconvenience to Rangers but also casting doubts on Dundee’s capability to host top-tier matches.

The ongoing talks with other clubs to host the fixture reiterates the mismanagement of their pitch. This negligence threatens the reputation of the Scottish Premiership and potentially Dundee’s standing in the league.

Moreover, the looming threat of fines from the SPFL emphasizes the gravity of the issue and urges Dundee to rectify their pitch problems promptly. Their lack of action to ensure a playable pitch reflects poorly on their management and could result in financial repercussions if penalties are imposed by the league.
