Chris Sutton labeled the Scottish Premiership a “total embarrassment” following the postponement of Rangers’ away game against Dundee.
On Sunday, March 17, the Gers were scheduled to play at Dens Park at noon, but referee Don Robertson spoiled plans by declaring the soggy field unfit for play just 90 minutes in advance.
Robertson gave notice of his decision to both managers at 10.15 a.m. following an inspection. Rangers manager Philippe Clement expressed his displeasure with the decision by shaking his head, and he wasn’t alone.

Chris Sutton, a legend in the Celtics, took on X, the former Twitter, and didn’t hold back. “A complete disgrace for the Scottish premier league, the Dundee Rangers match was postponed one hour and thirty minutes before kickoff,” he raged.
It’s all a complete mess how this has happened. The referee, Don Robertson, shows up for a pitch inspection at 10:20. Clearly, it would have been smarter to decide sooner.
What say you, Sutton? Tell us in the space provided for comments.
The Rangers supporters on the road will now have to return to Glasgow after an hour and a half. For once, their fans came together in support of Sutton.
“It’s unbelievable that I agree with Chris Sutton,” remarked one, to which another retorted, “It’s a complete mess, no wonder our league is called a joke. I can’t stand him.”
