Rangers will look to record back-to-back home wins for the first time since the beginning of February on Wednesday night as they welcome Dundee United to Ibrox.
Rangers finally put an end to their seven-match winless run at Ibrox in all competitions on Sunday, as they thrashed Aberdeen 4-0 on an afternoon where two of my three selections landed.
That result also ended their six-match winless run in all competitions, and Barry Ferguson will be hoping to claim all three points in his final home match in charge of The Gers.
Dundee United’s hopes of a top-three finish took a fatal blow at the weekend as they were beaten 0-2 at home to St Mirren.
That’s now three defeats on the bounce for Jim Goodwin’s side, with them still trailing fourth-placed Aberdeen by three points, but are now only two points clear of sixth-placed St Mirren.
How the bookies view it: Gers backed to make it back-to-back home wins
BoyleSports make Rangers 1/3 favourites to make it two victories in four days at Ibrox.
The same firm has Aberdeen as 11/2 underdogs, whilst the draw is 15/4.
Head to head: Gers have the edge
Rangers have won against Dundee United twice already this season, including a 1-3 victory at Tannadice at the end of January.
However, The Tangerines did claim a 1-1 draw in their previous visit to Ibrox at the end of November.
Players to watch: Dessers to deliver again?
Despite missing another couple of sitters, Cyriel Dessers extended his goal tally to 26 in all competitions and 15 in the Premiership this season against Aberdeen, and is 20/21 at BoyleSports to bag for the fourth match in a row.
By some distance, Sam Dalby is Dundee United’s leading scorer this season, with the on-loan Wrexham forward banging in 14 goals.
Probable line-ups
Rangers will once again be without defenders Ridvan Yilmaz, Rafael Fernandes and Dujon Sterling, as well as Romanian Ianis Hagi.
Dundee United will be without injured pair Ross Graham and Luca Stephenson.
Rangers: Kelly, Tavernier, Balogun, Souttar, Jefte, Raskin, Barron, Diomande, Cerny, Igamane, Dessers
Dundee United: Walton, Adegboyega, Gallagher, Sevelj, Strain, Docherty, Sibbald, Ferry, Trapanovski, Middleton, Dalby
Anything else catch the eye?
Rangers finally put an end to their three-month wait for a win at Ibrox at the weekend, and you’d fancy them to claim another three points against a United side that has lost three on the spin, conceding 10 goals in the process.
12 of Rangers’ previous 15 Premiership matches have seen a minimum of three goals, so combining a home win & Over 2.5 Goals at 4/5 with BoyleSports appeals.
Vaclav Cerny scored his first Rangers goal at the weekend since a brace against Fenerbahce in the Europa League at the beginning of March, and is always worth a punt to get on the scoresheet.
