Prediction: 2-0
Dundee United
Buoyed by a routine 2-0 win over St Johnstone, Rangers will look to retain top position in the standings when they take on Dundee United in yet another home fixture. The Gers are determined to defend their trophy, but they need to keep on winning if they are to meet the goal. Alfredo Morelos, who is enjoying a very successful season, should continue to lead the line for the hosts, while all Balogun, Helander, Jack, and Roofe are likely to miss out with injuries.
The Terrors, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, and given their three-game losing run in the Scottish top flight, the underdogs are unlikely to grab something from the Ibrox Stadium clash. Both McNulty and Smith remain in the recovery room, while Calum Butcher is out of contention through suspension for the visiting side.
