3 Selections @ 4.60

Over 2.5 Rangers Goals @ 1.66

Fresh off the back of a 3-0 win in their Champions League qualifier against Viktoria Plzen on Tuesday night, I think Rangers look more than capable of repeating the trick against Dundee on Saturday evening. The Light Blues’ midweek success was without doubt their best performance under new manager Russell Martin to date, and a home game with a struggling Dundee side looks like an excellent opportunity to post another handsome victory. 

Steven Pressley’s side were dumped out of the Scottish League Cup after kicking off their group stage campaign with back-to-back losses against Airdrie and Alloa, not to mention Dundee failed to keep a clean sheet in their win over Lowland League outfit Bonnyrigg Rose. 

The Dark Blues have since fallen to a 2-1 defeat at home to Hibs in the Scottish Premiership, and they now face a much tougher test at Ibrox this weekend.

Both Teams to Score No @ 1.73

While Rangers are far from the finished article from a defensive perspective, I think they offer a touch of value to keep a clean sheet. The Glasgow giants have silenced both Panathinaikos and Viktoria Plzen at Ibrox in recent weeks, and it would be fair to say that their latest guests will represent a downgrade on those challenges.  

Dundee failed to score when losing to both Airdrie and Alloa during the group stage of the Scottish League Cup, while they also looked toothless in attack against Hibs last Sunday. They lost 2-1 at home to Hibs, they had two shots and one from inside the box - mustering a total xGF of 0.13.

Cyriel Dessers to Score Anytime @ 1.63

Cyriel Dessers delivered on his first start of the season on Tuesday night, scoring one and setting up another of Rangers’ three goals. The much-maligned striker ended last season as the Scottish Premiership’s leading goalscorer with an overall return of 18 strikes. On top of that, Dessers racked up a further 11 goals across domestic cup and European competition last term, including a brace against Dundee in a Scottish League Cup tie at Ibrox. With all that in mind, the Nigerian looks well placed to notch against a Dundee side that look set for a season of struggle.

SBK Fresh Legs means that this selection will roll onto Dessers' replacement if he is substituted.

  • Rangers have won each of their two games at Ibrox this season.

  • Rangers have kept a clean sheet in both of those.

  • Dundee have lost three of their opening five matches of the season across all competitions.

  • Dundee have failed to keep a clean sheet in four of their opening five matches of the season across all competitions.

Rangers’ first Scottish Premiership home game of the season will see them welcome Dundee to Ibrox on Saturday evening.

Unsurprisingly, Rangers are heavy 1.15 favourites with Dundee huge outsiders at 20.0. While a share of the Ibrox spoils is also considered unlikely at 9.60.

🔵 Martin Gets a Response

After blasting his players in the wake of Rangers’ 1-1 draw with Motherwell last weekend, Russell Martin got the response he was looking for when watching his team put Viktoria Plzenn to the sword with a 3-0 victory on Tuesday night. The Light Blues looked to have a much better balance about them, and they offered a greater threat going forward, particularly in the wide areas. 

Oliver Antman dazzled on his Rangers debut on Tuesday night, earning his new side a penalty before providing an assist for the second of fellow winger Djeidi Gassama’s two goals.


Confidence Low in the Dundee Camp

Even at this early stage of the season, Dundee look like a side that are lacking confidence. The Dark Blues were unable to put their Scottish League Cup horror show behind them when losing 2-1 at home to Hibs last Sunday. Steven Pressley’s side looked stale and lacked creativity last time out, producing a measly xG of 0.13 after mustering up just two shots.

Dundee boss Pressley has since bolstered his ranks by bringing in striker Joe Westley from Burnley, and more new arrivals are expected at Dens Park between now and the end of the month.


📊 Rangers v Dundee H2H

Rangers and Dundee crossed paths on four occasions last season, with the Teddy Bears taking top honours on three occasions, while the other encounter ended all square. It’s also worth noting that Rangers won each of the two meetings at Ibrox last season, posting a pair of clean sheets for good measure.
