Following on from tasting defeat last time out to St Mirren in Premiership action, Dundee United will be hoping to turn things around here.

📰 Team News: Rangers

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the Rangers manager Barry Ferguson to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Neraysho Kasanwirjo (Knee injury) won’t play.

It looks as if The Gers will possibly make use of the 4-2-3-1 system in the match and select Liam Kelly, James Tavernier, John Souttar, Leon Balogun, Jefte, Connor Barron, Nicolas Raskin, Vaclav Cerny, Mohamed Diomande, Nedim Bajrami and Cyriel Dessers.

ℹ️ Team News: Dundee United

We are inclined to think that The Tangerines could decide to elect for a 3-4-3 lineup, settling for Jack Walton, Vicko Sevelj, Emmanuel Adegboyega, Declan Gallagher, Ryan Strain, Ross Docherty, Craig Sibbald, Will Ferry, Glenn Middleton, Sam Dalby and K. Trapanovski.

🔮 Prediction

In this game, Dundee United will manage to break down this Rangers outfit, although it possibly won’t be as many as they’ll concede.

Our tip is for a narrow 2-1 winning score for Rangers after 90 minutes. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
