Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Sunday’s football game between Dundee United and Rangers will bring down the curtain on day 21 of the 2022/2023 Premiership campaign. The Terrors made a slow start to the season, but they have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating both Ross County and St Johnstone in the last two league matches. Both Jamie McGrath and Peter Pawlett are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Gers, on the other hand, were on the verge of winning the Old Firm derby, but Celtic eventually scored a late equalizer to spoil their part at Ibrox. Rangers are desperate to return to winning ways, and seeing that they defeated Dundee United in three of their last four meetings in the Scottish top flight, away win should be considered. All Steven Davis, Ridvan Yilmaz, John Souttar, Tom Lawrence, Filip Helander, Ianis Hagi, and Nnamdi Ofoborh are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Craig Sibbald):
Craig Sibbald is a Scottish footballer who plays for Livingston as a midfielder. Sibbald started his senior career at Falkirk, and after scoring 30 goals in 214 appearances for the Bairns, he signed a two-year contract with Livingston in the summer of 2018.
Craig Sibbald made his Scotland Premier League debut on September 30, 2018, in a 1-0 loss to Rangers. Four months later, he scored his first goal in the Scottish top flight, finding the net in a 3-1 win over St Mirren. Craig Sibbald has three caps with the Scotland U16 team while making two appearances for the Scotland U17 side. He wears the number 10 shirt at Livingston, and his preferred foot is left.
Sibbald’s main position is attacking midfield, but he is used as a left winger as well. The Scottish footballer has a contract with Livingston until July 1, 2018. In August 2011, he was named the Scottish Football League Young Player of the Month.
Highlighted Team (Rangers):
Glasgow Rangers are one of the two synonyms for Scottish Football. Glasgow Rangers were founded back in 1872 and they have been playing an important role in the Scottish top flight ever since. The Gers won their 54th Scottish Premier League title in the 2010/2011 season, but winning of European Cup Winners’ Cup trophy in 1972 is considered the club’s biggest success.
Glasgow Rangers defeated Dynamo Moscow in the final of the competition, with the likes of Stein and Johnston (two goals) scoring for the Scottish side. Celtic are considered the club’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks when the two teams meet in the Old Firm derby. The likes of Paul Gascoigne, David Weir, Stefan Klos, Chris Boyd, Ian Durrant and Kenny Miller are some of Rangers’ former notable players.
It has to be noted that the Gers welcome their rivals at Ibrox Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 50,817. Rangers’ support is largely drawn from the Protestant Unionist community.
