RANGERS get back to domestic dutuies on Sunday with a trip to Tayside to face Dundee.

Philippe Clement's side were in Europa League action on Thursday and they crashed out to Benfica in the Round of 16 despite dominating most of the game. It was a demoralising defeat.

They also prouduced their worst performance under his tenure when losing at home to Motherwell, bit that looks like it can be put down as a freat result.

They have been a model of consistency and with the title race as close as it is, every goal could count here.

Dundee have enjoyed an excellent first campaign back in the Premiership under Tony Docherty and they are very hopeful of getting into the top six for the first time in eight years.

They were in midweek action against Aberdeen and deserved their 1-0 win against the struggling Pittodrie side.

How the bookies view it

Rangers are in their expected odds-on facourites position here at 2/5 with William Hill.

Dundee can be backed at 15/2 with Paddy Power and the draw is 4/1 with 888sport.

Recent head to heads

Rangers have won both games this season – 3-0 at Ibrox and also a thumping 5-0 success at Dens Park.

In fact, Rangers have won the last eight games between the teams and the hosts haven't won this fixture since 2017.

Players to watch

Michael Mellon has been strongly tipped as a potential star of the future and he has already netted against an Old Firm team in his loan spell with a consolation goal against Celtic. He is 15/4 to score anytime with bet365.

Fabio Silva has looked the part for Rangers since joining on loan from Wolves and the one-time Portuguese wonderkid is 6/5 to score anytime with bet365.

Anything else catch the eye?

As much as Dundee have had a fine campaign, their achilles heel has been when they have come up against the Old Firm.

They crashed to a 5-0 defeat at Dens Park from Rangers and were crushed 7-1 by Celtic in Glasgow. In fact, they have conceded 21 goals in five games against Rangers and Celtic and scored twice.

So it's hard to see a way they can stop a rampant Rangers side from adding to that tally. The call here is a Rangers win and over 2.5 goals at 20/21 with bet365, that way a Dundee goal could be a help if they manage to score.

Rangers won't sit back if and when they do score here. The evens on offer from McBookie.com for the visitors to score in both halves looks a steal.
