Gordon Dalziel found himself embroiled in a fiery on-air clash sparked by a Rangers fan’s suggestion that the rescheduled Dundee game should be held at Ibrox. Speaking on Clyde 1 Superscoreboard on Thursday, the pundit argued against this proposal, deeming it unfair to Celtic due to the potential home advantage granted to Rangers following the postponements at Dens Park.

Dalziel acknowledged the frustration of the Rangers supporter, known as Billy, towards Dundee but highlighted the hypocrisy of demanding a different scenario if the situation were reversed with Celtic playing at Celtic Park. He emphasized the importance of fairness in such a crucial stage of the title race, cautioning against granting any team an undue advantage.

The debate raised questions about the integrity of the competition and the need for a neutral venue to ensure a level playing field. The uncertainty around whether Dundee can successfully host the match on the third attempt has led to discussions about alternative arrangements that prioritize reliability and fairness.

The ongoing saga reflects poorly on Scottish football, with the repeated postponements at Dens Park casting a shadow over the competition at a critical juncture. Amid the title race tensions, both Rangers and Dundee are eager to resolve the fixture and refocus on their pursuit of success.
