Weather forecasters have warned that frequent downpours are expected to hit Tayside over most of the next 48 hours.
Dundee were drawing up another raft of contingency plans on Monday night as fears mounted their midweek clash with Rangers might be washed out for a second time.
That’s despite four previous postponements and a warning from weather forecasters that frequent downpours are expected to hit Tayside over most of the next 48 hours including at the scheduled kick-off time. The heavy rain is not predicted to ease off until the early hours of Thursday morning. But, despite Kettlewell’s concerns, match ref David Dickinson eventually gave the game the go-ahead after conducting a second inspection. Now it’s Rangers’ turn to return to the City of Discovery to play their game in hand over title rivals Celtic having been forced to abort their last trip there in March when the lunchtime game was called-off at the 11th hour.
Dundee boss Tony Docherty expects the game to go ahead, with protective covers attempting to hold off the forecasted heavy rain. Docherty said: “They are all working on the pitch. I am preparing my team for the game and I know it is on. “Whatever measures that need to be taken on are being taken to make sure the game is on.”
