Team News

Dundee United
Rangers
  • Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin named an unchanged Terrors team for the third straight match after they beat St Johnstone 2-0 at Tannadice, before a sole goal was enough to beat Hearts at Tynecastle prior to the international break.
  • Jack Walton continued in goal behind a back three of Emmanuel Adegboyega, Declan Gallagher and Ross Graham who netted the winner in Edinburgh. Craig Sibbald and Kevin Holt started in the centre of the midfield four.
  • Will Ferry remained at left wing-back, with Luca Stephenson taking Vicko Ševelj's spot on the right. Macedonian duo David Babunski and Kristijan Trapanovski supported lone striker Jort van der Sande in attack.
  • Rangers boss Philippe Clement made two changes from the Gers blowing Ross County away with a 6-0 victory at Hampden Park, before a 3-0 derby defeat to Celtic at Parkhead before the international break.
  • Robin Propper replaced Leon Balogun to join James Tavernier, John Souttar and Jefte who kept their places in the Rangers back four. Connor Barron and Dujon Sterling continued to sit as the duo in front of the Gers defence.
  • The only other alteration saw Mohamed Diomande replace Tom Lawrence in the middle of the park. Vaclav Cerny - on the right - and Rabbi Matondo - on the left and who picked up an injury on derby day - supported lone striker Cyriel Dessers.

Prediction

  • Third hosts fourth, heading into this weekend's fixtures, in Sunday's sole Scottish Premiership match as Dundee United and Rangers go toe-to-toe at Tannadice.
  • Dundee United had last avoided defeat in their opening four games of a Scottish top-tier campaign in 2009/10 which, like this season, included victory over Hearts. A wonderful win in Edinburgh was United's first league victory over the Jambos since February 2016 and their first at Tynecastle since 2014. Still unbeaten, the Terrors enter this match with some momentum, confidence and belief.
  • It was a familiar feeling for Rangers in their last match, as their poor recent run against arch-rivals Celtic continued with the Gers winning just one of the last 13 Old Firm derbies in all competitions. Having last lost five league games in a row at Celtic Park back in April 1980, the visitors are also on their longest winless run on the road since four without an away win in February 2022.
  • Dundee United could move four points clear of the visitors with a victory, but Celtic and Aberdeen are expected to win on Saturday so Rangers must find a way to respond by hook or by crook before they find themselves too far out of the running.
