Rangers have demanded that Dundee reimburse them over the two postponed matches at Dens Park in recent weeks, according to a report.
The Scottish Sun states that the Ibrox club has submitted expenses for a five-figure sum from their fellow top-six Premiership club.
It's believed Rangers want the costs of their two pre-match stays in St Andrews to be paid for by Dundee, as well as travel expenses.
The games - which were called off in March and April respectively - have already proved costly for Dundee, with Sky Sports gaining £30,000 in compensation after they lost out on two broadcast opportunities.
This has been covered by Dundee as part of their £150,000 fine, of which £120,000 is suspended until the end of next season.
Now, it appears Rangers have hit Dundee with another bill, as the row over the pitch situation rumbles on.
The Dens side will start work on improving their playing surface after their final home game of the season on Saturday, May 18 against Kilmarnock.
It's reported that this will cost them over £180,000.
They have a new groundsman - pinched from city rivals Dundee United - starting in the summer too, as they aim to avoid any further issues in the future.

Meanwhile, it is never wise to overstay your welcome.
Borna Barisic may well have harboured hopes of having his contract with Rangers extended this summer when his current deal expires given his deep affection for and lengthy association with the club he joined from Osijek for £2.2m six years ago.
Yet, with Ridvan Yilmaz finally justifying the £3.4m fee which it took to secure his services back in 2022 and firmly establishing himself as first choice left back at Ibrox, Barisic has found competitive game time hard to come by in recent months.
When he has featured, the Croatian internationalist, whose lung-bursting overlaps and penetrating deliveries into the opposition box had been potent weapons, has struggled to hit the heights which he did during his early seasons in Scotland.
