Team News

Dundee FC
Rangers
  • Dundee manager Tony Docherty made one change from the Dee's Dundee derby defeat as they lost to United at Dens Park 2-1, before they responded with a wonderful 3-1 win over St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park on Sunday.
  • Trevor Carson remained in goal behind Ryan Astley, Clark Robertson and Luke Graham in the Dee defence. Finlay Robertson made way for Scott Tiffoney to start at left wing-back as Josh Mulligan continued at right wing-back.
  • Mo Sylla and Lyall Cameron started in the middle of the park against Saints, just as they had on derby day. Oluwaseun Adewumi supported Seb Palmer-Houlden and Simon Murray in the Dee frontline.
  • Rangers manager Philippe Clement named an unchanged Gers XI after an emphatic derby day display saw them beat Celtic 3-0 at Ibrox to kick off 2025 in style, before a six-goal thriller at Easter Road as they drew 3-3 with Hibernian.
  • Liam Kelly was finally beaten in the Gers goal in Edinburgh. Jefte, Ridvan Yilmaz, Robin Propper and Dujon Sterling continued as an unorthodox back four with injuries continuing to pile up from a Rangers perspective.
  • Mohamed Diomande and Nico Raskin continued in midfield, offering protection from an unusual backline. Ianis Hagi, Nedim Bajrami and Vaclav Cerny supported the hat-trick hero against Hibs, Hamza Igamane in attack.

Prediction

  • Two of last season's top six teams meet at Dens Park, as Dundee host Rangers in Thursday night's sole Scottish Premiership fixture.
  • Dundee won back-to-back Scottish top-tier trips to McDiarmid Park against St Johnstone for the first time since April 2002, when they won three in a row, after they blitzed Saints in a fast first-half display. The Dark Blues have won consecutive Scottish Premiership away games for the first time since December 2017 and January 2018, so hope to keep building momentum in midweek.
  • Rangers also came racing out the blocks at the weekend, sailing into a two-goal lead before their six-goal thriller with Hibernian resulted in a share of the spoils. The Gers will be annoyed at throwing two points away, but at least their unbeaten run at Easter Road continued to 14. It's their longest-ever run away to the Hibees, overtaking the 13 from March 2007 to December 2011.
  • Dundee haven't beaten Rangers in the league for over seven years but, despite the Gers' defensive absentees and inconsistencies, the visitors will have to fight to depart Dens Park with all three points.
