Dundee’s cinch Premiership match with St Johnstone has been postponed due to waterlogged pitch.
The decision was taken after a morning inspection at Dens Park, with the contest between the competition’s seventh and 10th-placed sides to be rescheduled for a later date.
Five other Premiership meetings are still set to take place on Tuesday night, with league leaders Celtic away at St Mirren and second-placed Rangers hosting Kilmarnock.
Dundee posted on X: “Following the referee’s pitch inspection this morning, today’s cinch Premiership match with St Johnstone has been postponed.
“Recent rainfall has meant the pitch has become waterlogged and the match has been called off. A new date for this fixture will be announced in due course.”
A St Johnstone statement added: "GAME IS OFF.
"The pitch at Dens has failed it’s inspection."
St Johnstone chief executive Stan Harris then commented: “I’m very frustrated for our supporters who had bought tickets in large numbers who were looking forward to backing the team at Dens Park and I thank them for that.
“We were told at 9.30am of a precautionary pitch inspection but were advised that things looked to be promising in terms of the game going ahead and so to find out at 11.30am that the match was off was very disappointing.
“We do understand the problems that waterlogged pitches can cause and that is why we invested over one hundred thousand pounds last summer to improve the drainage on our own playing surface.
“I’d like to thank our ticket office staff who, with it being paper tickets, manually administered the sale of just short of 2,000 tickets.”
