Dundee v St Johnstone OFF after Dens Park pitch inspection

The fixture has been called off due to a waterlogged pitch.

Dundee’s Premiership clash with St Johnstone has been called off.

The two Tayside outfits were due to face off at Dens Park at 3pm.

However, rain put the game at risk with a pitch inspection called for 11am, before the Dark Blues confirmed the postponement half an hour later.

The Dee said: “Following the referee’s pitch inspection this morning, today’s cinch Premiership match with St Johnstone has been postponed.

“Recent rainfall has meant the pitch has become waterlogged and the match has been called off.

“A new date for this fixture will be announced in due course.”

They added: “All refunds for PPV passes purchased for today’s game have now been processed, and accounts will be credited within 5-10 working days.”

It’s understood the Dark Blues called for an early inspection to avoid a repeat of the Aberdeen clash called off less than an hour before kick off last weekend.

That was postponed due to a waterlogged goalmouth.

Unfortunately this one has suffered the same fate.

Dundee and St Johnstone now head for an earlier-than-planned winter break.

Next up is the Scottish Cup fourth round on January 20.

The Dark Blues are at Kilmarnock while Saints go to Championship side Airdrieonians.
