Rangers vs Dundee United Prediction: Rangers to bounce back from their losses

Rangers will host Dundee United at the Ibrox Stadium on Saturday. The host will hope to get back to winning ways after losing to Napoli last Wednesday in the UEFA Champions League. Meanwhile, Dundee United will hope to avoid loss in this match. We give more detailed match analysis and expected outcomes in the following paragraphs. 

Rangers will have plenty of frustrations to vent this weekend following three heavy defeats on the spin and bottom club Dundee United could be on the receiving end of the Gers’ ire at Ibrox Stadium. The Terrors are rooted to the foot of the Premiership table after six games and they managed to find the net just twice during their horrible early run of results. Rangers need to muster a response after the poor week they had themselves and a comfortable win over Dundee United could be just the tonic. We hope they will play with much confidence and recover from their previous poor performances.
