Dundee and Rangers pitch farce has one unseen positive but Hotline hammers the nail into Dens Park coffin

The Premiership races on into matchday 33 this weekend but the Hotline is mired in the muddy hell that sees Dundee and Rangers stuck on matchday 32.

Wednesday’s latest call-off at dodgy Dens has callers taking aim at SPFL chief Neil Doncaster, the Taysiders and even Hibs for their ‘sporting integrity’ complaint with top six spots up for grabs. Robert Livingstone, Palm Beach, said: “Everyone's hammering nails into Dundee's coffin with the talk of huge fines, big points deductions and even wanting them relegated. Certainly the club’s board have made a total mess of a bad situation when they knew they had a major drainage problem with the playing surface and needed to urgently fix it, it seems they didn’t.”

Derek Morris, Stirling, said: “Dundee should be deducted three points for every game that was cancelled - 15 points - and face a stiff fine. But knowing the SPFL and how Dundee bailed them out with their dodgy email fiasco we won’t hold our breath.” Dr Robert Pender emailed: “Neil Doncaster dithers his way through football business. It is now time for him and his team to move on. The majority of the SPFL have had enough of inept leadership.”

And Robert McEwan, Mount Vernon, said: “The shambles at Dundee is beyond a joke and making us look like a pub league. As for Dundee taking their foot off the gas if they qualify for the top six, surely the players have the integrity and desire to go and play their best?”

Neil Renton, Leith, added: “At least the Dundee pitch debacle has put a rest to the debate of having a longer winter shut down due to weather. Only in Scotland would a game be postponed in April because of a water logged pitch. Madness.”

But Hibs fan John Scott, Grassmoor, took aim at his own club and
