Dundee United vs Rangers

, KO: 12:00 Sep 15, 2024, Tannadice
Rangers

DUNDEE UNITED were many pundits' tips for relegation this season after scraping promotion last year in the Championship.

But not only have they started the season well, they are actually ahead of Rangers in the league and they welcome the Ibrox side on Sunday.

Philippe Clement will probably have been glad of the international break to relieve some of the pressure he was under after a truly lamentable display against Celtic where they put up a timid showing and predictably lost 3-0.

Despite just signing a new deal, the Belgian is under serious pressure with the game to the champions looking larger than ever.

Anything other than a win on Tayside would really turn the screw on him.

And United can be full of confidence going into this. Manager Jim Goodwin appears to have injected some real talent with his summer arrivals.

They have beaten St Mirren in the Premier Sports Cup and followed that up with league wins against St Johnstone and Hearts away in the league all without conceding a goal.

They are unbeaten in their last eight games and will represent a huge test to the visitors.

How the bookies view it: Rangers firm favourites

Rangers can be backed at 4/9 with William Hill with Dundee United attracting interest at 7/1 with Berfred. The draw is 18/5 with William Hill.

Recent head to heads: Rangers on top

Rangers won all three meetings with United the last time the Terrors were in the Premiership and have won the last four in total.

United's last win over Rangers came just over three years ago at Tannadice.

Players to watch: Ross is the boss

An interesting outsider for United might be to take a chance on defender Ross Graham who loves a goal He's scored two winners in his last three games and is a massive price of 25/1 to score anytime on Sunday with bet365 which could be well worth a modest investment.

Rangers will again rely on Cyrille Dessers who had a disappointing afternoon in the Old Firm game. The Nigerian international is 33/20 to get back on the goal trail with bet365.

Predicted line-ups:

Dundee United are without right back Ryan Strain but have an otherwise fit squad.

Rangers have doubts over Nicolas Raskin, Oscar Cortes and Ridvan Yilmaz.

Dundee United: Walton, Adegboyega, Gallagher, Graham, Stephenson, Holt, Sibbald, Ferry, Babunski, Van der Sande, Trapanovski.

Rangers: Butland, Tavernier, Souttar, Balogun, Jefte, Sterling, Barron, Cerny, Lawrence, Matondo, Dessers.

Anything else catch the eye?

This could be a difficult afternoon for Rangers against a United side who look solid at the back and have impressed at both ends of the park.

However, Rangers still have a superior – if underachieving so far – squad and should have enough to get the job doe in a narrow win.

Back Rangers to win with a winning margin of one goal at 11/4 with bet365.

With United keeping three clean sheets in a row and Rangers being heavily criticised for missing chances, it might not be a goalfest.

Go for under 2.5 goals with 10Bet at 6/5.
