A decision has been made on the Dundee vs Motherwell Premiership match following a second pitch inspection on Saturday afternoon.

Officials checked the playing surface at 1pm and decided that the game would go ahead as planned.

The inspections came after a weekend of heavy rainfall in the Tayside area and Dundee already having four league games postponed this season.

An initial pitch inspection was held at Dens Park at 11am but no definitive decision could be reached and it was decided a second check would take place just two hours before the game was scheduled to kick-off.

At around 1.10pm a decision was made that the game could be played.

Dundee said in a statement: “Following the 1pm pitch inspection the match referee has passed the pitch and the match will kick-off at 3pm as expected.

“A massive thank you to club staff, contractors and wonderful volunteers who all played their part to make sure today’s match went ahead.

“We look forward to seeing a great Dundee support at The Scot Foam Stadium at 3pm.”
