👕 Dundee v Rangers Predicted XI
🔍 Dundee v Rangers Players to Watch
🔵 Simon Murray
Simon Murray has been a talismanic figure for Dundee this season. The experienced forward extended his hot streak in front of goal by scoring against St Johnstone on Sunday. He has made the net bulge 4 times across his last 3 starts in the Scottish Premiership, taking his overall tally for the season to 12 in all competitions. Murray should prove a real handful for Rangers’ injury-ravaged defence at Dens Park on Thursday night.
⚪ Hamza Igamane
Rangers have unearthed a real gem in Hamza Igamane. The Moroccan frontman has been in sparkling form of late, racking up 10 goals and 2 assists across his last 11 appearances. Last time out, Igamane hit a superb hat-trick during Rangers’ 3-3 draw with Hibernian. He also bagged a brace away at Motherwell recently, so he will be rubbing his hands at the prospect of facing a Dundee side that struggle to keep clean sheets.

💻 Dundee v Rangers Form and Tactics
After kicking off 2025 with a defeat to arch-rivals Dundee United, Dundee got the perfect pick-me-up with a 3-1 win away at St Johnstone on Sunday. The Dark Blues showed a real clinical streak when seeing off the Saints, scoring with 3 of their 5 on-target efforts. At the other end of the park, Dundee gave up 26 shots, with St Johnstone winning the xG battle 1.49 to 1.19.
While Dundee are among the Scottish Premiership’s best-behaved teams in terms of receiving cards, they did pick up a sizeable 5 bookings against St Johnstone. Tony Docherty’s side are currently averaging 2.10 cards per game in the Scottish Premiership this season. They collected 2 cautions against Rangers at Ibrox last month.
Dundee have been average corner hitters in the Scottish Premiership this season, averaging 5.00 per game. They have earned 5+ in each of their last 4 league matches.
Rangers were unable to build on their resounding 3-0 win over Old Firm rivals Celtic when being held to a 3-3 draw away at Hibs on Sunday. Having racked up 17 shots - 9 of which hit the target - Philippe Clement will have been disappointed not to come away from the capital with more.
That setback means Rangers have pocketed only 3 victories from their 10 Scottish Premiership games away from Ibrox this season. It’s also worth noting that the Light Blues’ backline has been breached on multiple occasions in each of their last 3 road trips.
One other notable trend from Rangers’ recent away games is the amount of corners that they have been conceding. Clement’s side had to defend 10 corners against Hibernian on Sunday, while St Mirren and Ross County earned 7 and 8 flag kicks respectively when hosting the Glasgow giants during the month of December.
🏁 Dundee v Rangers Ref Watch
- Referee: Calum Scott
- Calum Scott has proven to be one of the more lenient match officials in the Scottish Premiership this season, averaging 3.57 cards per game. It’s also worth noting that the Scottish ref is yet to reach for a red card across his 7 top-flight outings this term.
- Calum Scott has awarded 2 penalty kicks across his 7 Scottish Premiership outings this term, 1 of which was given to Dundee during their home game with Aberdeen earlier this season.
