Rangers will aim to complete back-to-back wins when they host Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership this weekend.
An early goal from Cyriel Dessers handed Philippe Clement’s side a much-needed 1-0 win over Hearts prior to the international break, but with his side trailing both Celtic and Aberdeen by nine points, failure to win this weekend is almost non-negotiable.
Meanwhile, Jim Goodwin’s men will hope they can plunge the Ibrox giants further into crisis and leapfrog them into third place, with Dundee United just three points behind them.
Belgian boss Philippe Clement will continue to be without Rabbi Matondo, Oscar Cortes and Tom Lawrence, while Dutch full-back Neraysho Kasanwirjo could be out for a significant period of time after suffering an injury on international duty earlier this week. Clement has been boosted by the return of Turkish left-back Ridvan Yilmaz though, who has been missing since August.
Here’s how we predict Rangers to line-up for this Saturday’s game against Dundee United, using live photos from Friday’s training session. Do you agree with our picks?
