Andy Halliday insists he will be stunned if Rangers' trip to Dundee gets the go-ahead tomorrow if there's heavy rainfall over the next 24 hours.
The Motherwell midfielder branded the surface at Dens a 'disgrace' after playing 75 minutes on it at the weekend during his side's 3-2 victory in the City of Discovery.
The pitch passed a last-gaps inspection at 1pm on Saturday afternoon, which saw the match go ahead despite serious concerns for player welfare.
And while Dundee may remain unconcerned about their surface withstanding the yellow weather warning in place for today, Halliday is doubtful.
"Well, what I'd like to say is - what a game, what a league, what a 90 minutes," he told Superscoreboard during the introduction. "And I'm of course talking about Dens Park on Saturday, what a comeback by the Steelmen."
And as host, Gordon Duncan then went through the usual Monday night awards with the result of the weekend and goal of the weekend, Halliday was keen to get his howler of the weekend in there first ahead of fellow pundit Roger Hannah.
He said: "Can I start Roger, please? I've been waiting three days to say this ever since I was on the phone with you at 12 o'clock on Saturday.

"Dens Park. It's as simple as that. It's probably been the howler two or three times this season, but I was delighted we managed to come back and win so instead of sounding bitter after dropping points, giving my howler to Dens Park, I'm delighted to do it on the back of a win.
"The surface is a disgrace. I'm absolutely amazed the game was given the go-ahead to go on.
"Listen, it's Monday, but I'd be really surprised if the game goes ahead on Wednesday if there's any more rain up in Dundee."
