The match between Dundee and Rangers has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
A second pitch inspection at 10.15am has led to the fixture being called off just 90 minutes from the scheduled kick-off time.
An initial inspection at 9.15am was held before a second inspection by match referee Don Robertson who decided the game could not go ahead.
A Rangers statement read: "GAME OFF: Today’s match against Dundee has been postponed.
"The club will make further comment in due course."
A Dundee update added: "Following the referee’s second pitch inspection this morning, today’s cinch Premiership match with Rangers has been postponed.

"Recent rainfall has meant the pitch has become waterlogged and the match has been called off."
It's understood the Rangers squad had just arrived when the decision for the match to be postponed was confirmed.
A local referee had attended Dens Park for the initial inspection but no decision was made with a second inspection planned for match referee Don Robertson.
And when Robertson arrived for the 10.15am inspection the ball would roll on the pitch but did not bounce leading to the call-off.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
