BBC journalist Tom English has expressed concerns about the upcoming clash at Dens Park between Rangers and Dundee, which has been rescheduled twice due to weather-related issues. English noted on Twitter that the forecast for the new date, next Wednesday, indicates the possibility of further rain, potentially leading to another cancellation.
Rangers have already criticized Dundee for the postponements, citing negligence and unprofessionalism. English hinted that there could be more complications ahead, given the unpredictable weather.
The failure to play the game despite contingency plans in place has drawn criticism, especially considering the tight schedule nearing the end of the season, with Rangers closely trailing Celtic in the league standings.
While the forecast for the rescheduled date appears slightly better, the recent experience of a sudden deterioration in conditions underscores the uncertainty. Despite the disruptions, playing the match at Dundee next week seems to be the most feasible option, albeit not ideal.
English emphasizes the need for authorities to devise a more effective plan to avoid similar situations in the future, ensuring everyone isn’t left waiting and eventually conceding to the weather.
