The lunchtime kick-off faced a late call off with the Ibrox side now out of action until after the international break.
A help or a hindrance? Rangers’ controversial call off at Dens Park on Sunday could be viewed one of two ways as Philippe Clement and his men were denied the chance to reclaim top spot in the Scottish Premiership heading into the international break.
Time will tell if it’s a positive or negative when they finally get round to playing the rearranged game next month. If they fail to get a victory then it will be a case of ‘what if’ after the team arrived ready and prepared for the original match at the weekend only to discover there was an issue with the pitch due to torrential Tayside rain 24 hours earlier.
There will now be a two-week break, at least for those not on international duty, for the Light Blues squad before they resume league action with a home game against Hibs on Saturday, March 30. That kicks off a busy spell up until the Premiership split but just how should the Dundee postponed be viewed? Here, Record Sport looks at one of the positives and negatives of the game falling victim to the weather.
It means the Hoops are at the summit and, assuming they beat relegation certainties Livingston in west Lothian in the first game back after the international break, the champions will head to Ibrox as league leaders. Could that have a negative impact psychologically on Rangers?Managers will always talk about how crucial momentum is in football and Philippe Clement and his players probably just wanted the game to go ahead as planned.
