The race to retain the Scottish Premiership continues this weekend for Rangers as they welcome out of form Dundee United this weekend. The match is scheduled for Saturday at Ibrox Stadium with kickoff at 6 pm.
Both Rangers and Dundee heads into this fixture on the back of consecutive victories in the league, providing plenty of confidence to each squad.
Looking at both teams recent form, it looks as though the Rangers have the edge going into this match, with them winning 3 out of their last four matches while Dundee is winless in their last three matches.
Rangers dispatched Hibernian by a goal to nil in the first of their games this week at Ibrox as fate continues to smile on Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side.
An own goal from Anthony Stokes proved to be the deciding factor in the encounter and was enough for the home side to continue their winning streak.
Kemar Roofe had a hand in everything for the visitors but wasted several presentable chances, and it was not until an 85th-minute penalty that he finally netted.
Dundee United have made one substantial change to their starting lineup for tonight’s clash against Hibs at Tannadice after recent returns from injury.
Despite having their back problems lately, Dundee has managed to keep two clean sheets in their last couple of outings.

Rangers Team News
Roofe made his return to the team during the midweek tie with Hibernian as he came off of the bench to score the only goal in a 1-0 win and will no doubt be desperate to be involved at the weekend.
Dundee United Team News
Lee Ashcroft was unavailable due to an injury. Still, because the Dark Blues secured another clean sheet in midweek, it is unlikely there will be many changes defensively for the home side.

Both sides are of high confidence; hence we expect a spectacle at Ibrox Stadium.
