Dundee is guaranteed a top six place in the Scottish Premiership this season, regardless of what happens against Rangers on Wednesday evening.
Rangers will aim to play their rescheduled game against the Dee when they travel to Dens Park midweek, assuming no last-minute changes occur.
Rangers were enraged by Dundee’s handling of the entire affair, especially because there is still no guarantee the game will go ahead as planned.
On the surface, a call is scheduled on Tuesday afternoon, with other venues being prepared as a backup, but this game is producing problems beyond just slowing down the split.
Now, without the burden of playing at the same time this weekend, Dundee’s 0-0 draw with Aberdeen and Hibs’ 1-1 draw with Motherwell have ensured the Dens Park side’s top six finish.
ibs upset about Dundee v Rangers “advantage”
The scenario brings to light allegations of Hibs’ dissatisfaction with the second Dundee v Rangers call-off.
The Scottish Premiership side had called into question the sporting integrity of finishing their pre-split fixtures before Dundee, with the Dens Park team going into Wednesday knowing what result they needed to finish in the top half.
A top six result has a substantial financial impact in Scottish footballing terms, so it is not a small achievement, and the Hibees have legitimate reasons to be frustrated.
