Dundee United vs Rangers: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Dundee United vs Rangers in the Premiership. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 19:45 GMT match.

• Fixture: Dundee United vs Rangers

• Date: Wednesday, 03 December 2025

• Kick-off: 19:45 GMT

• Venue: Tannadice Park

Dundee United will be looking to build on their recent draw against Kilmarnock, but their inconsistent form might make it tough against a strong Rangers side. The Terrors have shown they can score, as seen in their win over St. Mirren, but their defence has been leaky, conceding three goals at home to Falkirk. If they can tighten up at the back, they might just nick a result.

Rangers, on the other hand, come into this match with a solid run of form, having won four out of their last five games. Their defence has been particularly impressive, keeping a clean sheet against Falkirk. With players like Antman and Miovski in good form, they'll fancy their chances of breaking down Dundee United's defence. However, they'll need to be wary of Dundee United's attacking threats.

Match Prediction: Dundee United 1-2 Rangers

Dundee United's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with only one win in their last five games. Their draw against Kilmarnock away from home shows they can compete, but the heavy defeat to Falkirk at home will be a concern. They'll need to find some consistency if they're to get a result against Rangers.

Recent Premiership Results:

• Draw: 1-1 vs Kilmarnock (A)
• Loss: 0-3 vs Falkirk (H)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Hearts (A)
• Loss: 0-2 vs Motherwell (A)
• Win: 3-1 vs St. Mirren (H)

Rangers are in fine fettle, having won four of their last five matches. Their only blip was a draw against Falkirk at home, but they've bounced back well with wins against Livingston, Dundee, Hibernian, and Kilmarnock. This run of form will give them confidence going into the match against Dundee United.

Recent Premiership Results:

• Draw: 0-0 vs Falkirk (H)
• Win: 2-1 vs Livingston (H)
• Win: 3-0 vs Dundee (A)
• Win: 1-0 vs Hibernian (A)
• Win: 3-1 vs Kilmarnock (H)

The head-to-head record between these two teams shows a slight edge to Rangers, who have won three of the last five encounters. Dundee United have drawn twice, including a 2-2 draw in their most recent meeting. However, Rangers have scored more goals in these matches, suggesting they might have the upper hand in this fixture.

• Predicted lineup: Richards (GK), Iovu (DF), Graham (DF), Keresztes (DF), Strain (MF), Camara (MF), Sibbald (MF), Stephenson (MF), Ferry (MF), Sapsford (AT), Watters (AT)

Dundee United are expected to line up in a 3-5-2 formation, with Richards in goal and Iovu, Graham, and Keresztes forming the back three. This setup should allow them to be solid at the back while giving Strain and Ferry the freedom to push forward and support the attack.

• Predicted lineup: Butland (GK), Tavernier (DF), Djiga (DF), Fernandez (DF), Aarons (DF), Barron (MF), Raskin (MF), Antman (MF), Aasgaard (MF), Bajrami (MF), Miovski (AT)

Rangers are likely to stick with their 4-2-3-1 formation, with Butland between the sticks and a back four of Tavernier, Aarons, Djiga, and Fernandez. This shape should provide a solid defensive base while allowing Bajrami, Antman, and Raskin to create chances for Miovski up top.

• Watters vs Djiga: Watters will need to use his physicality to test Djiga's defensive capabilities.

• Strain vs Aarons: Strain's energy in midfield will be crucial in trying to outwork Aarons.

• Sapsford (Dundee United): Sapsford's pace and finishing could be key for Dundee United's attacking threat.

• Antman (Rangers): Antman's creativity and vision will be vital for Rangers to break down Dundee United's defence.
