Everything you need to know ahead of Scottish Premiership match

Rangers will aim to return to the top of the Scottish Premiership and take back control of the title race with a victory in Dundee on Wednesday – providing the Dens Park pitch is deemed playable.

The fixture was originally due to be played on Sunday, March 17 but was controversially postponed just 90 minutes before kick-off – the fourth time this season that Dundee have suffered a home postponement due to a waterlogged pitch.

Another call-off was narrowly avoided on Saturday past after the match against Motherwell survived two pitch inspections although the visitors expressed concerns for the safety of players due to the state of the playing surface prior to their 3-2 victory.

Despite a Met Office weather warning for heavy rain across Dundee on Tuesday, home manager Tony Docherty has dismissed any concerns that Wednesday’s fixture may fall victim to the weather for a second time.

That will come as a relief to both Rangers and the Scottish Professional Football League who will avoid a major headache with little room for manoeuvre before the post-split schedule is announced after this weekend’s round of matches.

Rangers go into the match on the back of Sunday’s thrilling 3-3 draw against Celtic at Ibrox which kept them one point behind Celtic at the top of the table but with the game in hand to come against Dundee which they can use to reclaim top spot.

Dundee, meanwhile, can clinch their top six place with a victory in what would be a significant achievement in their first season back in the top flight after earning promotion from the Championship last term. The Dark Blues know one win from either of their next two games against Rangers and Aberdeen will be enough to secure a place in the top half.
