The match between Dundee and Rangers is under serious threat of a late call-off with a second pitch inspection announced just hours from kick-off.

Local officials were called to Dens Park for an initial check of the surface at 9.15am however a decision will now not be made until a second inspection at 10.15am.

It's reported match referee Don Robertson is travelling to Dens Park to make the final call on whether the game - scheduled to kick-off at 12pm - will be played.

A Rangers statement read: "A further inspection of the pitch will take place at 10:15am.
