Rangers will take on Dundee in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday with a lot of eyes seemingly likely to be tuned to the clash. The Gers are currently placed third in the league table after 24 outings, having accumulated 43 points and would look forward to go toe-to-toe with fellow Premiership side Aberdeen in the race for the second spot. On the other hand, Dundee FC will leave no stone unturned to worsen Rangers’ helpless scenario comprised of all sorts of trouble to overtake Kilmarnock and get back in the groove for the sixth place.
Mark Warburton’s association with the Ibrox Stadium-based club has been culminated, as a result of which Graeme Murty has been handed the responsibility of being the caretaker manager of the club for the time being. Murty was brought to the Ibrox Stadium by Warburton and has a daunting task ahead of him to lead the pack, the inauguration of which kicks off this weekend against Paul Hartley’s outfit. Without any shadow of a doubt, closure of Warburton’s chapter in the pages of history of the Light Blues wasn’t in the most civilised of manners and no wonder why the players may have an impact on their performance for the same.
Nonetheless, Murty has to instil the confidence back into the side as the league goes into the business end of the season. Rangers had beaten Morton by a 2-1 score line in the Scottish Cup fifth round in their last fixture, whereas Dark Blues are back from a 1-1 draw against Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership. Both of the sides aren’t at the peak of their form but have a huge fixture up ahead, Rangers in particular, and here is our predicted line-up for Rangers in game week 24 of the Scottish Premiership.
Defence
Wes Foderingham should start with the gloves between the sticks against Dundee, with the central defensive pair comprising of two veterans in the shape of Phillipe Senderos and Clint Hill. On the right wing-back, one might anticipate James Tavernier to start with Lee Wallace on the left flank.
Midfield
In the 4-3-3 formation, it is expected that Jason Holt would be handed the start on the right wing and Josh Windass on the left. To play the deep lying midfielder’s role, Jon Toral should start the proceedings to knit the defence and the offensive pawns of the Teddy Bears as a unit.
Attack
Martyn Waghorn is likely to get the nod over Barrie McKay to lead the line at the Dens Park, with the duo of Kenny Miller and Joe Garner on right and left wings, respectively. Finding the back of the net on a regular basis has been an issue for Rangers and they would definitely like to improvise on this aspect as they set forth into a new era.
