Dundee United vs Rangers Prediction: 9/2 For Thrilling Draw To Open Campaign

THE William Hill Premiership kicks off in Scotland this coming weekend offering an array of fascinating fixtures – William Hill News have previewed Dundee United vs Rangers on Friday night.

As always, the Glasgow ‘Old Firm’ of Celtic and Rangers lead the way in attracting betting interest. But don’t forget Hearts went so close to clinching the title last season for the first time beyond 1959/60.

Here is my take on Friday’s opening fixture between Rangers and Dundee United, with a considered score prediction to assist your football betting on the contest.

Dundee United v Rangers

• CalForth Construction Arena at Tannadice Park
• Kick-off: 8pm

Dundee United preview

• Final position last season: 7th

They need to tighten up defensively. I’ve calculated Dundee United have alarmingly conceded 114 goals in their 76 matches following promotion from the Scottish Championship two years ago whilst scoring 94 themselves.

Rangers preview

• Final position last season: 3rd

Disappointed to trail arch rivals Celtic by 10 points last time out. Rangers head coach Danny Röhl subsequently departed for Red Bull Salzburg by mutual agreement on 17th June.

Quite quickly, Derek McInnes switched to Ibrox as first team manager penning a three year contract on leaving Heart of Midlothian.

Dundee United v Rangers score prediction: Desmond 2-2.
