Dundee fined for Dens Park's pitch problems

There have been five failed pitch inspections at Dens Park this season

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

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

The suspended figure will be automatically triggered in the event of a further breach next season.

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