Scottish Premier League leaders Rangers are back in action on Saturday when they host Dundee United at Ibrox. Rangers are off to an impressive start in the league, unbeaten in the first six games, of which they have won five.
Steven Gerrard's side are yet to concede a goal in the league so far, and are currently six points ahead of their bitter rivals Celtic, having played two games more than them.
Former Liverpool player Ryan Kent has really settled in superbly for Rangers this season, and has already scored three goals in the league this season, a figure that no other player has surpassed.

Dundee United, on the other hand, have only picked up seven points from six games so far, but these are still early days, and the season is a marathon, not a sprint. Dundee United, though, will know that an away day at Ibrox would be a great way to start picking up points.
