The Scottish Professional Football League has today written formally to Hampden Park concerning the highly unsatisfactory condition of the pitch for the Scottish League Cup semi-finals, presented by QTS.
SPFL Chief Executive Neil Doncaster said: “The SPFL pays a significant sum of money for the use of Hampden Park for these matches. We require that Hampden Park provides a quality pitch in excellent condition for our prestigious cup matches.
“The players of the teams involved in these special games deserve to enjoy the best possible football pitch conditions to allow fans in the ground and supporters watching on TV around the world to be entertained. This quality of pitch is what we were assured would be provided ahead of the semi-finals, however this clearly did not happen over the weekend.
"We have written to HPL to understand what they plan to do over the next six weeks to ensure that we get the quality of pitch in a condition we require for our Scottish League Cup Final, presented by QTS, on Sunday 15 March.”
