That’s led to Jocky expressing the view this is a case where normal protocol should be abandoned and, instead of an inspection in the morning, a referee should be called in to check the pitch this evening.

If that’s the case and the game is postponed, he has already taken steps to try to make sure his players — without a game for a fortnight now — see some action.

“I’ve spoken to Michael O’Neill up at Brechin and they are in the same boat as us, so, if both our games go off, we will try to find a pitch to have a closed-door game on,” he said.

“That would be easier to do if we get a decision about Clyde today, but I don’t know if that will be possible.”

Whether it is later today or tomorrow, until a pitch inspection confirms what seems to be the inevitable, Dundee will continue to prepare to head west.

“It’s getting difficult for the players to stay focused because they’ve prepared for one game then been disappointed, prepared for it again only for it to go off again and now they are getting ready for another match that is in doubt,” added Jocky.

“On top of that, from my point of view it’s been a bad week because we have not done any fitness sessions, so, one way or another, I really want a game tomorrow.”

Wherever the Dark Blues are on duty, missing again because of international duty will be Mikael Antoine-Curier. He is due back from Guadeloupe on Monday.
