Dundee's clash against Celtic postponed due to waterlogged pitch

Tonight's Scottish Premiership match between Dundee and Celtic has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch at Dens Park.

Areas of Scotland and the North-West of England have been hit with torrential rain and flooding over the last few days.

There were concerns that this evening's 7.45pm kickoff would not go ahead due to a number of enquiries about the state of the field at Dundee's home ground.

Following a pitch inspection at 1.15pm this afternoon, Dundee confirmed via their official Twitter page that the surface was deemed unplayable.

Celtic have a one-point lead over Aberdeen at the top of the Premiership table, while Dundee are seventh, 10 points adrift of third-placed Hearts.
