Dundee Look Into Playing League Game In US

Dundee have raised the prospect of playing a Premiership game in the United States with league chiefs, according to reports.

The Scottish Professional Football League has stated that no club has made any application to play a game overseas.

But reports claim both Dundee and Celtic have held talks about the prospect of playing a league game in the USA with Boston and Philadelphia mentioned as possible venues.

A spokesman for the SPFL said: "The SPFL board would require to sanction any move for a league game to be played overseas.

"To date the SPFL has not received any application from any member club for any games to be played overseas."

Dundee have strong US links through Texas-based chairman Tim Keyes and American director of football operations John Nelms, who is based at Dens Park.

Celtic have played a number of friendlies in North America and have been looking into the feasibility of starting a franchise in the North American Soccer League.
