The SPFL Premiership gets up and running tonight and new Rangers boss Derek McInnes has a tricky first game on the road at Dundee United.
McInnes came close to a stunning title success with Hearts last term, only to slip up in the final few minutes of their last-day decider at Celtic Park.
That has earned him the top job at Ibrox and he will be looking to avoid an early stumble at Tannadice, which hasn't been a happy hunting ground for Rangers of late.
Dundee United vs Rangers top betting tips
Rangers have only won on four of their last nine visits to Tannadice but Bet365 still make them 8/15 favourites tonight, with Jim Goodwin's men 9/2 outsiders.
That's probably down to the McInnes factor, although Dundee United were also pretty poor in some of their League Cup group games, needing a late penalty to sneak past Stirling Albion before losing on the road at Montrose.
So I fancy the Ibrox side to get off to a winning start tonight and combining the away win with under 3.5 goals pays a decent 7/4.
McInnes's sides are usually a big threat from set-pieces and Rangers have a big target to hit in Emmanuel Fernandez.
The centre back is 10/3 with Bet365 for anytime scorer while he's 5/6 with the same firm to have an effort on target.
Bodo/Glimt vs Lillestrom
Bodo/Glimt have surged to the top of Norway's top flight after a stunning run of form and should keep their winning streak going at home to Lillestrom tonight.
Kjetil Knutsen's men have gone eight game unbeaten since losing to Molde in early May and seven of those matches have ended in victories.
They've also won four on the spin so it's easy to see why Bet365 make them 1/4 hot favourites tonight.
Lillestrom's form isn't great, with three defeats in their last five, and they lost 2-0 at home to Bodo/Glimt earlier in the season.
So I'm going to back the league leaders for another win to nil, with that bet paying 6/4 at Bet365.
Patrick Berg netted in Bodo/Glimt's last home game and the midfielder is 11/4 for another strike tonight.
Drogheda United vs Shamrock Rovers
The league leaders are also in action in Ireland tonight as Shamrock Rovers look to open up a 10-point gap by beating struggling Drogheda United.
With title rivals St Patrick's Athletic and Bohemians not in action until Sunday, this is a great chance for Rovers to pile some pressure on.
They're up against a Drogheda side who sit third bottom, just four points above the drop zone, and the leaders are 3/4 favourites to rack up another three points.
But it will be interesting to see how Shamrock Rovers react after their heart-breaking aggregate loss to Ararat in the Champions League qualifiers in midweek.
It looked like the Irish side would take the tie to extra time after going 2-0 up, only to crash out when the Armenians scored a late goal.
That could be a tough blow to recover from and Drogheda may be worth a punt in the double chance tonight at 10/11.
I fancy goals at both ends in this one with Shamrock Rovers having weary legs and minds. Combining BTTS with over 2.5 strikes pays 7/5 at Bet365.
Super singles

I’m going to advise points on each tip I post on here all season, and each month send out my profit and loss to help where possible. Starting tonight, I’m advising the below:
Dundee United v Rangers – Kick Off 8:00pm
Bet: OVER 10 MATCH CORNERS @ 5/6
Points: 10 Points
Your advising points, how much is a point worth?? 10p £1 or £10 or £100
Does it all depends what you can afford to lose Macca?
No point in posting points if your not clear on what a point equals.
For you macca 1p😂😂,I would guess £10 but £100 if your serious about making money but also goes the other way,you just can’t win with me😝
You just got that over the line there mate haha. Good luck on whatever you’re doing with the points system. Hope it’s profitable 👍
Dundee Utd vs Rangers
Devlin to be booked @ 11/4 (skybet) Nap
Take it at this price all day long. Should probably have been booked in both friendlies and have a feeling will be involved in something here tonight.
Good luck 🤞
Can imagine he will be keen as mustard to show tonight he is up for it! Fingers crossed 🤣

@macca – what 1 point means to a punter is there choice. I don’t decide this, I just allocate points per each tip mate.
Dundee United v rangers
Dundee United red card 10/1
Rangers red card 10/1
Both teams red card 66/1

Dylan tait shot on target 2/1
Bet 365
As I’ve stated above @Macca, I don’t advise what each point equals, this is up to the punter to decide. It’s the BASICS of when calculating ROI each month. Total points advised, total points returned. Nice and simple.
Correct but we will say £10 which isn’t a daft amount,I personally do £100 but thats why I only do singles and even then I hardly win😫
Shankland to score and be booked 11/2. Also on him to be booked at 7/2 as a single. First competitive game as captain and for him to show “what a rangers man should be like as captain” so I expect him to be puting it about
He does tend to pick up a few bookings AC .
I have picked up where I left off last season unsurprisingly with a stinker. Happy days tho. Well done with the winners lads 🍀
10 corners inside 50mins 👍🏽 – Just the ONE corner required for a solid 5/6 winner
WINNER @ 5/6 ✅ = 10 points
(Dundee United v Rangers – Kick Off 8:00pm
Bet: OVER 10 MATCH CORNERS @ 5/6
Points: 10 Points)
ROI: – From 31.08.2026 & explanation below:
10 points
* Each point = £10
* Odds = 5/6
* Total stake = 10 × £10 = £100
* Profit at 5/6 = £100 × 5/6 = £83.33
* Total return = £183.33
In points:
* Profit = 8.33 points
* Total returned = 18.33 points
The winning bet has returned a total of 18.33 points in total (which equals £183.33), including your original 10-point stake.
Why did you not just answer macca earlier before the game and say each point was a tenner mate ?
@Damian – Don’t worry mate, let’s smash the bookies this season and follow what I post here sensible stakes as always. Winner tonight to start the season ✅💥💰
