Recent respective form guides

Dundee United's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Tangerines have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Rangers's away form is none too clever either, unbeaten in their last six, consisting of three wins and three draws. Those games have seen the The Gers pummel 13 goals, and let in 6.

Dundee Utd find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 3 games have yielded only 0 points. Rangers are leading the way in the Bank of Scotland Scottish Premier, with their 3 games giving them a return of 9 points.
