Rangers will host Dundee United at Ibrox Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership campaign. The home side have had mixed results in the league this season and are some way behind rivals Celtic in the title race as they sit third in the table with 22 points from 11 games.
They picked up a narrow but largely deserved 1-0 win over Hearts in their last match, with Nigeria international Cyriel Dessers scoring the sole goal of the game after just six minutes to register his third strike in as many games.
Dundee United, meanwhile, have enjoyed a brilliant run of results upon returning to the Scottish top flight this season and remain in contention for the Championship round. They returned to winning ways before the international break with a convincing 3-0 victory over Ross County featuring goals from three different players including 17-year-old Owen Strirton, who netted on his club debut.
The visitors sit a place behind their weekend opponents in the league table with 19 points and will be looking to add to that tally on the road on Saturday.
The Gers have won two of their last three games and have lost just one of their last six. They have won their last four home matches on the bounce and will be keen to extend that streak on Saturday.
Dundee's latest result ended a three-game winless streak and they will be looking to kick on from that this weekend. They have, however, struggled in this fixture in recent games and could lose this one.
Prediction: Rangers 2-0 Dundee United
Tip 1 - Result: Rangers to win
Tip 2 - Goals - Over/under 2.5 - Under 2.5 goals (Seven of the last eight matches between the two teams have produced fewer than 2.5 goals)
