In a clash between two teams from opposite ends of the Scottish Premiership, 11th-placed Dundee United will entertain second-placed Rangers at Tannadice Park on Sunday (January 8).
The hosts have resumed their Premiership campaign on a positive note. They're unbeaten in three games since a 2-2 draw against Hearts on Christmas Eve. Dundee have won their last two games on the spin and are coming off a 1-0 win over St. Johnstone, thanks to Tony Watt's 81st-minute winner. Nevertheless, with 19 points, they remain second from bottom in the standings.
Rangers, meanwhile, maintained their unbeaten run in the league with a 2-2 draw against fierce rivals Celtic at home. Ryan Kent and James Tavernier scored in quick succession in the second half, but their efforts were undone by Kyogo Furuhashi's 88th-minute equaliser.
