SKY CONFIRM: The Match between “Dundee United VS Celtic” Has Been Rescheduled Due to Weather Concerns
Sky Sports can confirm that the highly anticipated Scottish Premiership clash between Dundee United and Celtic has been officially rescheduled. The fixture, originally set to take place this weekend at Tannadice Park, has been postponed due to severe weather conditions affecting the Dundee area.
Heavy rainfall over the past 48 hours has led to significant flooding in and around the stadium, rendering the pitch unplayable and raising safety concerns for players, staff, and supporters. Match officials and club representatives conducted an on-site inspection early this morning and, after consulting with the league and emergency services, made the decision to postpone the match in the interest of public safety.
Both clubs have released statements supporting the decision and emphasizing that the wellbeing of everyone involved takes priority. Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers expressed his disappointment, stating, “We were all looking forward to the game, but safety must come first. We’ll now shift focus to preparing for the rescheduled date.”
Dundee United CEO Tony Asghar echoed similar sentiments, saying, “While we’re disappointed not to host this important match as planned, the conditions simply wouldn’t allow for a safe and fair contest.”
The SPFL has confirmed that efforts are underway to identify a new date for the fixture, which will be announced in the coming days. Fans who have already purchased tickets are advised to retain them, as they will remain valid for the rescheduled match.
Sky Sports will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available. Supporters are encouraged to follow official club channels and Sky Sports News for the latest developments.
