Rangers, who have the most scored goals (69) in Premiership, have been very solid at home in the Premiership so far, with 42 points collected from 14 matches (14-0-0). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table.

Happy days for Rangers in their previous game, a Europa League match away at Antwerp that ended with a 4-3 victory. Previous to that game, a Premiership home match hosting Kilmarnock in a game that was won 1-0.

A goal frenzy last time out for Rangers, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Antwerp. Fun stuff to watch!

It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Rangers have performed as huge favourites like they are today: eleven games found in the database showing ten Rangers wins, zero draws and one defeat.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Rangers, as the Europa League home game vs Antwerp is only four days away.

Rangers are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Ibrox Stadium in their league games, having scored an impressive 40 goals in 14 matches. Defensively Rangers have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 14 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Dundee are travelling after their nice 3-0 home win in the Premiership against Livingston (placed 5th). Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Ross County.

Goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist was absolutely vital in the Dundee United victory against Livingston, making nine saves.
