HIBS have raised strong concerns with the SPFL after the latest Dundee vs Rangers postponement, according to a report.

It isn't just the Ibrox men who are massively inconvenienced by the Dens Park side's consistent inability to host matches at the ScotFoam Stadium.

Now the Edinburgh Evening News claims that the Easter Road side - who face fellow top six chasers Motherwell this Saturday - feel that the Dens Park men have gained a sporting advantage into the bargain.

Dundee are in the box seat in the battle for the final top six spot.

And with their twice-postponed clash with Rangers now set to take place on Wednesday April 17, they will now know precisely what they need to finish in the top half of the league.

All other Premiership sides will have played their final post-split matches this weekend

The SPFL said in a statement that a disciplinary process was ongoing over Dundee's inability to get matches played.

But the impression their closest rivals have is that they haven't suffered any consequences whatsoever - and are in fact benefitting from it.

They claim that they have made their feelings clear in 'robust' discussions with league bosses.

Their unhappiness came after Rangers issued a strongly worded statement hammering the 'negligence and unprofessionalism' of the home club and believe the saga has been MISHANDLED.

It said: "Rangers has written to the SPFL outlining its position following today’s further postponement of the Dundee Scottish Premiership fixture.

The negligence and unprofessionalism demonstrated by Dundee Football Club, where they have repeatedly breached SPFL rules, continues to have a damaging effect on the top professional league in the country.

"In a week where record TV viewing figures were recorded for a match in the same competition, and this evening’s game due to be televised again by Sky Sports, this episode is deeply embarrassing and has also been eminently avoidable."

 

[temperance]

They're not wrong

 

[Mview83]

They are spot on

 

[Rangers72]

One of the only times I’ll probably agree with Hibs

 

[Gauche.]

And so it begins.

 

[Big Joke New]

Why not move all the weekend games to the Wednesday then?

 

[Arminius]

%^*& Hibs, but they’re right in this instance.

The offender hasn’t been punished. They’ve been given an advantage

 

[GR3RFC]

They are right, but the spineless governing body will do nothing about it so they are yelling into a void of incompetence.

 

[AlbertaBlue]

We wouldn't have half this shit if we didn't have this stupid split

 

[derek145]

%^*& Hibs, but they’re right in this instance.

The offender hasn’t been punished. They’ve been given an advantage

The only ones suffering are Rangers and our fans.

 

[RAFBob]

They aren't wrong but still burn spoons.

 

[SilvaBear]

Fuk Hibs.

Hopefully Motherwell beat Hibs Saturday, and Dundee lose at the Sheep.

We then go to the Dens potato patch next week, thrash them, meaning Hibs + Dundee end up bottom 6. I can see this happening.

 

[MillportBear]

Quite right

 

[Sandbear]

"Sporting integrity", yay Bingo! Lol.
Although in this situation they are correct.

 

[Maughlan]

They are quite right. Dundee are at it. They must be punished and docked points

 

[GF1]

There's an obvious solution to all of this.

Get the split to %^*&

 

[insanicdrunk]

See if this was just tonight, I would say suck it up Hibs, its shite but it happens, but we had the 1st game, cancelled, a shite pitch on Saturday and the weather forecast.

Not one plan to resolve it, hope other clubs like motherwell come out now.


One thing to add, our club sat up an told you all the SPFL are shite, but you all laughed, so time to look in the mirror.

 

[Oysterblue]

Doncaster has presided over so many controversial outcomes,surely questions need to be seriously asked why.

 

[SilvaBear]

They are right, but the spineless governing body will do nothing about it so they are yelling into a void of incompetence.

Yep, and all of these diddy clubs keep failing to get shot of Lawwell's stooges in the governing bodies, as they'd rather see Rangers getting fuk'd over, than do anything to progress the game in Scotland.

 

[sonowilliam1]

The only way round it is for Dundee to forfeit the match to Rangers.

Problem solved and Dundee heavily punished

 

[Meiklejohn]

100k fine and 3 points deduction for every game Dundee can’t play

 

[SilvaBear]

Doncaster has presided over so many controversial outcomes,surely questions need to be seriously asked why.

We called for a vote of no confidence in that shyster, and these clubs failed to turn up.
They get what they voted for, and we have to suffer all of these fools.

 

[Artful Dodger]

Fu*k hibs go and ask peter what’s to happen Cu*ts!

 

[Bluerhap]

They are right, but the spineless governing body will do nothing about it so they are yelling into a void of incompetence.

So much for member clubs holding the power and Doncaster can do nothing. It’s plain to see an SPFL cabal make the decisions and not the majority of member clubs, whose letters are ignored. Anyone who thinks differently is naive.

 

[rangeral]

While Hibs might be right

It is no different to the split weekend where 5 games are played at the same time and 1 at another time

Lucky the single game hasn't any impact on the split but in another season it could easily

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Fuk Hibs.

Hopefully Motherwell beat Hibs Saturday, and Dundee lose at the Sheep.

We then go to the Dens potato patch next week, thrash them, meaning Hibs + Dundee end up bottom 6. I can see this happening.

That’s my preferred outcome as well.

 

[Tpol_rfc]

I think this is a bullshit point. If a team going for 6th place had been selected for Sky on the Sunday the same situation would have arisen.

 

[RTD-BEAR]

They are quite right. Dundee are at it. They must be punished and docked points

Ultimately if that option n is available that's what case should be but it won't happen

 

[DougieJones]

Almost as if we need an independent investigation into the useless leadership (lol) of the SPFL. If only a club had led the way, and offered to pay for it…

 

[The Canny Man]

Has that clown Doncaster uttered a single word in all this or is he still waiting on Peter telling him what to do.

 

[top_cat]

Nothing and I mean nothing will be done or changed etc.
The SPFL are beyond incompetent, as for Hibs, they are right, but sod them.
Sporting integrity - get f.ucked. Laughable.

 

[Gazzabear v2.0]

Hopefully Motherwell come out as well.

It's a double whammy. Ignore pitch maintenance to invest in playing squad, then get games postponed due to lack of maintenance and gain an advantage due to game scheduling. Couldnt have planned for league positions to be as they are, but it's fell in Dundee's favour and there seems to be no consequences, almost like they are protected...

 

[rfcphil]

Now Rangers alternatives that were proposed and ignored, have more consequences.

Shock.

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

Well if they can dish out titles and relegate clubs without completing the season then this won't bother them one bit.

 

[Tpol_rfc]

They're not wrong

They are spot on

Their point is silly.

 

[GavCo]

Only solution is for all the other teams to play behind closed doors and not tell anyone the score until after the Dundee game!

 

[Valleyloyal]

They are quite right. Dundee are at it. They must be punished and docked points

For what it's worth, I think Dundee should forfeit the match, reimburse Rangers for any cost and possibly be expelled from the SPL

 

[Orange Peel]

Nothing and I mean nothing will be done or changed etc.
The SPFL are beyond incompetent, as for Hibs, they are right, but sod them.

All correct.

 

[bigbob belfast]

Says it all when Hibs are siding with us lol.

 

[the architect]

Must have read my thread

HIBS have raised strong concerns with the SPFL after the latest Dundee vs Rangers postponement, according to a report.

It isn't just the Ibrox men who are massively inconvenienced by the Dens Park side's consistent inability to host matches at the ScotFoam Stadium.

Now the Edinburgh Evening News claims that the Easter Road side - who face fellow top six chasers Motherwell this Saturday - feel that the Dens Park men have gained a sporting advantage into the bargain.

Dundee are in the box seat in the battle for the final top six spot.

And with their twice-postponed clash with Rangers now set to take place on Wednesday April 17, they will now know precisely what they need to finish in the top half of the league.

All other Premiership sides will have played their final post-split matches this weekend

The SPFL said in a statement that a disciplinary process was ongoing over Dundee's inability to get matches played.

But the impression their closest rivals have is that they haven't suffered any consequences whatsoever - and are in fact benefitting from it.

They claim that they have made their feelings clear in 'robust' discussions with league bosses.

Their unhappiness came after Rangers issued a strongly worded statement hammering the 'negligence and unprofessionalism' of the home club and believe the saga has been MISHANDLED.

It said: "Rangers has written to the SPFL outlining its position following today’s further postponement of the Dundee Scottish Premiership fixture.

The negligence and unprofessionalism demonstrated by Dundee Football Club, where they have repeatedly breached SPFL rules, continues to have a damaging effect on the top professional league in the country.

"In a week where record TV viewing figures were recorded for a match in the same competition, and this evening’s game due to be televised again by Sky Sports, this episode is deeply embarrassing and has also been eminently avoidable."

Good. It’s about time more clubs stood up for themselves!

None of them gave a %^*& when we tried to break the cabal, %^*& them all.

 

[CampsieStar]

Can't believe I actually agree with the dhiets but for one they are correct.

 

[Captain_Buns]

Only solution is for all the other teams to play behind closed doors and not tell anyone the score until after the Dundee game!

So ludicrous it actually wouldn’t surprise me if the dimwits at the SPFL suggested it.

 

[BertsEBT]

They have a point tbf. Seen a few posts about similar scenarios with 1 fixture being played after the other 5 this weekend but there's a reason why the chosen game has no bearing on who makes top 6

 

[evo14]

“All other Premiership sides will have played their final post-split matches this weekend”

No they won’t. They’ll play their final pre-split matches.

 

[bluereason]

“Peter, that’s Hibs piling it on us as well.” “What do we do?” “Ach Neil, leave it to me I’m in charge remember. I’ll see if I can rustle up a couple of glamour friendlies for them, that should sort it!”

 

[Texas ranger]

Lovely.

The more the merrier. When you get a chance to do something about it Hibs, you’d better show up.

Just need Motherwell to make a statement for a full house.
Motherwell should quote sporting integrity also.

 

[HowdenEnder]

When you see how he intended to use the spam folder email fiasco to his advantage, I wouldn't put anything past this Nelms character.

A sleekit bastard. He and his rancid club need hammered for this shambles.
