Rangers vs Dundee United betting tips: Scottish Premiership preview, predictions and odds

Match preview

It’s fair to say, if Rangers fail to win this one, they’ll be entering full-blown crisis territory.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s team come into this one having lost three games in a row, conceding 11 and scoring none.

A fortnight ago, they were demolished 4-0 by Celtic in the first Old Firm of the season, leaving the Gers five points below their fierce rivals.

Since then, the Light Blues have made their Champions League group stage return, 12 years in the making.

However, there’s been little cause for celebration with a 4-0 drubbing in Amsterdam by Ajax followed by Wednesday’s 3-0 defeat at home to Napoli.

James Sands’ red card early in the second half, with the game still finely-poised and goalless, the turning point.

Allan McGregor did also save two penalties, but I Partenopei still left Ibrox comfortable winners.

Of course, these are all tough games, but Rangers should never be losing three on the bounce in this fashion.

So, will the Bears get back on track before the international break?

Dundee United though certainly won’t be relishing this trip to Glasgow, given that they’re winless and bottom of the table.

Three weeks ago, the Tangerines suffered their biggest ever defeat, breaking the record set 17 days earlier, as they were hammered 9-0 by Celtic.

This saw Jack Ross sacked after just seven games in charge, but caretaker boss Liam Fox has made an immediate impression.

Under him, the Arabs have beaten Livingston in the League Cup, before holding Motherwell to a goalless draw at Fir Park.

Now, what Dundee United need is their first victory of the season, although it’s unlikely to come at Ibrox.
