The match between Dundee and Motherwell this afternoon will go ahead after the Dens Park surface passed a second pitch inspection by referee David Dickenson.
The Tayside club failed to get the grass in good enough shape for the man in the middle to make a decision at an 11am inspection but it was deemed playable at the second attempt at 1pm.
A video, taken from the stand by Courier sports reporter George Cran, shows patches of serious damage to the pitch.
Rangers are due to visit on Wednesday to play in a rescheduled match after their game, live on Sky Sports was rained off last month.
It's good news for travelling Motherwell fans who had faced an anxious wait to see if their trip to Dundee had been in vain.

"A massive thank you to club staff, contractors and wonderful volunteers who all played their part to make sure today’s match went ahead. We look forward to seeing a great Dundee support at The Scot Foam Stadium at 3pm.
