RANGERS produced a stunning result that made Europe sit up and take notice this week when they went to Germany and humbled Borussia Dortmund in their own backyard.

But on Sunday, they will be desperate to gain revenge on a shock they were on the end of themselves at the start of the season when Dundee United ended their 41-match unbeaten run with a win at Tannadice.

Rangers have been hugely impressive in the way they have bounced back from being hammered at Celtic to lose their lead at the top of the table.

They've comfortably defeated Hearts and Hibs at Ibrox, strolled past Annan Athletic in the Scottish Cup and their win in the Westfalenstadion was undoubtedly one of their best ever wins in Europe.

However, one of their two league defeats this season was at Dundee United, who have picked up themselves recently. United went through a really sticky patch where they went seven matches without a win, but since then they have come through gritty Scottish Cup ties at Kilmarnock and Partick Thistle, beaten Ross County and Motherwell at home and picked up goalless draws at Dundee and St Johnstone.

Their only loss during that run has come to a last gasp goal at Celtic.

How the bookies view it

Rangers are odds-on and the best price for an away win is 1/3 with 888Sport. The hosts are 10/1 with Paddy Power to repeat that August win and the draw is 21/5 with SBK.

Recent head to heads

United's 1-0 win which ended former manager Steven Gerrard's unbeaten run can be seen below.,

Rangers reversed the scoreline when the teams met at Ibrox in December. Last season, Rangers won all three games.

Players to watch

Tony Watt has lost his spot at top scorer in the league, but he's only one behind and recently opened his United account against his old club Motherwell. The ex-Celtic man will be desperate for a goal today and is 17/4 to score anytime with McBookie.com.

Alfredo Morelos limped off in Dortmund and Rangers could turn to Fashion Sakala for their attacking threat. The Zambian international is 13/10 with Paddy Power to net.

Anything else catch the eye?

Rangers should be full of confidence, but United have an excellent record against the Old Firm this season. They have played Rangers twice and won and lost 1-0 and played Celtic three times and drawn once.

It could be a tight encounter at Tannadice and Rangers might not manage four goals on Tayside unlike in North Rhine-Westphalia. The 12/5 with bet365 for a Rangers win and under 2.5 goals should go close.

United have been involved in some crazy corners stats recently. In order, their last five games have seen tallies of: 16, 8, 20, 17, 16!

It's a remarkable stat that should have us reaching for the corner odds. Take a punt on bet365's over 14 at 11/2.
