Rangers hardliners demand ultimate sanction for Dens Park shambles – Hotline

SPFL chiefs have launched an investigation into Dundee’s dodgy pitch after the Taysiders' clash with Rangers was KO’d on Sunday. But Hotline callers have already concluded the Dens surface isn’t fit for purpose after what was the fourth call-off of the season.

Some want Dee docked points. Others want Rangers awarded the points. And if you thought the pitch was a mess imagine the furore that would cause. Gary Stevenson, Newtonhill, blasted: “The bar has to be set higher for money spent on pitches in the Premiership. The top six for the business end of the season could include a plastic pitch and a ploughed park. Points deductions must be considered as the fans are paying top money that money should be reinvested in facilities. For Dundee to claim that Sunday's match could have gone ahead with a two hour delay is not acceptable. The SFA needs to get tough and make Dundee play home games at an alternative venue until money is spent on serious pitch improvements.”

John Davidson, Kirkintilloch, said: “Due to the fact that's been the fourth postponement this season, the authorities should award the match and points to Rangers and that would resolve the problem of trying to organise a date for the rearrangement before the split.”

Jimmy Mac, Glasgow, said: “Any Premiership club who has four games postponed in any one season due to rain should not be in the top flight. Dundee should be forced to have a capable drainage system installed no matter the cost to the club or forfeit the games and points awarded to the opponents, it cost the club and supporters time and money to get the those games only to be informed 90 mins
