Dundee face a penalty of £186,000 in the event of further problems with their Dens Park pitch.

The club admitted to five breaches of Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) rules following a series of postponements because of waterlogging.

They must pay the governing body £66,000, with a further £120,000 suspended until the end of next season.

Dundee say they are considering an appeal against the disciplinary hearing ruling.

The club explain that the suspended figure will be automatically triggered by a single waterlogging call-off next season.

They also say the immediate fine includes £36,429.60 as “compensation to the SPFL for television and pitch specialist costs”.

A statements adds they are “deeply disappointed with the severity of the punishment” and “currently seeking legal advice with regards to an appeal”.

A spokesman for the SPFL said: “Rules on pitch condition are an integral part of maintaining a fair league competition.”
