Rangers Preview – Another comfortable home victory for the Teddy Bears?
Steven Gerrard’s Rangers have made an excellent start to their Scottish Premiership season, racking up 16 points from a possible 18 so far. The Gers are already three points clear at the top of the table.
Rangers have won five and drawn one of six, beating Aberdeen, St Mirren, St Johnstone, Kilmarnock and Hamilton Academical. Incredibly, the Teddy Bears have yet to concede a goal in this season’s Premiership, scoring 11 at the other end.
Before the break, the Glasgow giants were too strong for Hamilton at New Douglas Park. Two goals in the opening 20 minutes did the business against the Accies, with Ianis Hagi and James Tavernier on the scoresheet.
Rangers will be hoping to keep up their 100% winning home record on Saturday. They are the massive favourites, with the bookies pricing the Light Blues at just 1/6 to get maximum points. In truth, they should have no problems in this one.
Dundee United Preview – Terrors to crash to a heavy defeat in Glasgow?
Dundee United were promoted to the Premiership after winning the 2019-20 Scottish Championship. The season was cut short in Scotland, but United’s 59 points and average of 2.11 points per game was more than enough for the title.
Former Tranmere Rovers boss Micky Mellon is the new man in charge at Tannadice Park, and the Terrors have had a mixed start to their campaign. So far, Dundee United have won two, drawn one and lost three. After winning at Ross County, the Terrors have lost back-to-back games to Celtic and Kilmarnock.

After a heavy 4-0 loss at Rugby Park before the break, United will be hoping to restore some pride at Ibrox on Saturday. Unfortunately for them, we can see the Terrors falling to another big defeat on the road.
Rangers vs Dundee United Betting Advice
These two clubs have not met in league action since the 2011-12 Premiership campaign. Rangers won three of the four meetings that season, including a 5-0 win at Ibrox. However, they have squared off twice in the Scottish FA Cup since, with Dundee United winning both with ease.
Key Facts – Rangers vs Dundee United Betting Tip

- Rangers are top of the table, dropping just two points from a possible 18

Rangers have been on a mission at the start of this season. The Gers will be desperate to win a first title for a decade and stop bitter rivals Celtic from making it ten in a row.
This should be a stroll in the park for the league leaders on Saturday. Back Rangers to win to nil again (4/6). Also, we like the look of the home side to win both halves of this one at 11/10.
