Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Sunday’s football game between Dundee United and Rangers will bring down the curtain on the Premiership round 5. The hosts are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in all competitions, but they should be happy with one point from the match as well. Kevin Holt limped off with injury in a hard-fought 1-0 win over Hearts, with Croatia international and fellow defender Vicko Sevelj likely to step up.
The Gers, on the other hand, aim to recover from a heart-breaking loss to Celtic in the Old Firm derby. As Rangers are determined to stay in the title race, we are tempted to put our money on the Scottish powerhouse. You should bear in mind that Rangers have defeated Dundee United in each of the previous four meetings between the two clubs. As for the away team, Ross McCausland is pushing for a start, while both Ridvan Yilmaz and Oscar Cortes miss out with injuries.
