📋 Team News: Dundee United
There’s just the sole fitness concern for the Dundee United gaffer Jim Goodwin to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength group. Isaac Pappoe (Knee injury) misses out.
It looks as if The Tangerines should employ a 3-4-3 formation for this one with Dave Richards, Iurie Iovu, Bert Esselink, Krisztian Keresztes, Luca Stephenson, Vicko Sevelj, Panutche Camara, Will Ferry, Amar Fatah, Nikolaj Moeller and Zachary Sapsford.
📋 Team News: Rangers
Rangers boss Danny Röhl has a number of players out of action. John Souttar (Muscle injury), Bailey Rice (surgery), Oliver Antman (Adductor injury) and Derek Cornelius (Muscle injury) are not able to play.
We are inclined to think that The Gers seem most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, settling for Jack Butland, James Tavernier, Nasser Djiga, Emmanuel Fernandez, Jayden Meghoma, Nicolas Raskin, Connor Barron, Djeidi Gassama, Nedim Bajrami, Danilo and Bojan Miovski.
🔮 Prediction
Our assessment here is that Dundee United might well have a job on their hands to see themselves scoring against this Rangers lineup who we think might just have the edge.
That’s why our selection here is for a hard-fought 0-1 winning score for Rangers when all is said and done.
Should be an interesting one.
