Dundee have failed to break Scottish football’s deadlock, leaving Dundee United’s title fate still in the hands of their city rivals.
The Dark Blues don’t feel they “are in a position” yet to reveal their stance on the SPFL vote that would see the Tangerines crowned Championship winners and end the season in the second, third and fourth tiers.
The Dens men and their managing director John Nelms, of course, have been mired in controversy since they withdrew their no vote on Friday.
Anyone hoping for clarity today, though, was left disappointed.
The Dundee statement read: “Following a weekend of discussion and contemplation, we would like to issue the following statement.
“As we made clear in our statement on Friday afternoon, it is a time for integrity and impartiality within Scottish football. Our view on that has not changed.
“Over the past few days, we have entered into various positive discussions with reconstruction at the forefront of these.
“Given our discussions and considering all aspects, we don’t feel we are in a position to comment further on the resolution that was put forward.
“We understand that this may bring more questions than answers and we will look to give a much more substantial account of the past few days at the conclusion of this process.
“Our supporters should know that we are, as always, looking out for the best interests of both Dundee Football Club and Scottish football as a whole.”
The Dark Blues may or may not have been given pause for thought by words from Partick Thistle earlier in the day that claimed they had legal advice that Dundee’s original vote should be counted as a no and bring the SPFL resolution down.
