Dundee United vs Rangers Prediction: Rangers to respond to Celtic Park's poor performance

Dundee United will host Rangers at Tannadice Park in round 5 of the Scottish Premiership. The two teams lost last time out in the league and will look to respond to their poor play. How will this encounter end?

Dundee United extended their strong form since returning to the topflight with a 0-1 win over Hearts. In that game, Dundee United were held goalless at the end of halftime, but Ross Graham's 76th minute goal was enough to improve their standings. In the meantime, Dundee United have won their last three matches, two others against St Johnstone and St. Mirren, while remaining unbeaten in nine consecutive matches.

Rangers were thrashed by their old firm rival, Celtic, the week before the international break at Celtic Park and will look to do better here. In the meantime, that defeat was Rangers’ second in recent encounters as they lost to Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League qualification round. In the meantime, a look at this team's league performance this season saw them accumulate 7 points from a possible 12, leaving them seated 4th in the standings. 

Following a poor performance against Celtic before the break that saw them thrashed, Rangers have to stand up for responsibility. Dundee United, however, has been very good this season, maintaining an unbeaten run of games, which they have a chance to extend here. Yet, Rangers have that quality, and I expect them to see this game as a chance to respond to their poor play against Celtic. Take Rangers to dominate each half of this game while not conceding.
