Dens Park will undergo a further pitch inspection at 1pm ahead of today's scheduled Premiership match between Dundee and Motherwell.
The Dees have already had four postponements because of their pitch this term, including the loss of a high-profile match on Sky Sports against Rangers ahead of the international break last month.
The rescheduled game is set to take place on Wednesday next week, a situation that has provoked questions about the likelihood of it going ahead with further rain forecast to hit Tayside.
An 11 am inspection was announced yesterday for today's game by the SPFL but the work done by groundsmen this morning hasn't been enough to see it pass.
A social media post from Dundee stated: "Following this morning’s scheduled pitch inspection the referee has deemed there will be a further inspection at 1pm this afternoon."
Motherwell added: "We apologise to all supporters for any inconvenience this has caused."

The announcement has already provoked fury amongst travelling Steelmen fans who will have to leave their homes without knowing if the game will go ahead.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
