Dundee vs Rangers clash suspended after visiting fans' huge pyro show sets off FIRE ALARM

Referee Kevin Clancy was forced to put Rangers clash with Dundee on hold for 18 minutes following a pyrotechnic display from visiting supporters - just two minutes after the delayed game had finally got underway.

The fixture was already in doubt due to Storm Ciaran's torrential rainfall causing havoc across Scotland but the Dens Park showdown survived the the downpour only to be delayed further due to difficulties with the Ibrox team bus travelling to the ground - with the game kicking off at 8.30pm. However, the game was almost instantly put on hold after a wall of red flares were lit in the away end at Dens Park after just two minutes of play.

The smoke filled the stadium leaving the players unable to see anything on-field with Clancy bringing a stop to the game to allow smoke to clear. The official then spoke with Dee boss Tony Docherty and Gers boss Philippe Clement before taking both teams down the tunnel. Rangers said: "Due to the activation of a fire alarm the game has been paused."
