Dundee Football Club's match against Motherwell has been postponed due to heavy rain in the north east. The decision was made by the match referee, citing player safety. The match was scheduled to take place at Dens Park, but the heavy rain made the pitch unfit for play. Dundee Football Club's management had arranged a precautionary inspection with the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) and the decision was made shortly before 16:00 to call the match off. The club had struggled with the Dens Park pitch two seasons ago and admitted to five breaches of SPFL rules following a series of postponements because of waterlogging. The decision to postpone the match was made in the interests of player safety, with the match referee citing the heavy rain as the reason. Dundee Football Club's management has promised to rearrange the fixture as soon as possible. The club's fans are disappointed by the postponement, but understand the decision made by the match referee. The postponement is a setback for Dundee Football Club, but the team will look to bounce back in their next match.
