Rangers vs Dundee: Preview, predictions and lineups | OneFootball

Rangers are aiming to bounce back from weekend disappointment and controversy in the Scottish League Cup final when they host Dundee on Saturday.

The Light Blues tasted an agonising penalty shootout defeat following an enthralling 3-3 duel with Celtic in the showpiece event at Hampden Park, but were left infuriated after the full-time whistle following VAR's failure to spot that Liam Scales' extra-time foul was inside the penalty area. The Scottish FA have since admitted to the error.

Philippe Clement and his players must put their cup final disappointment to one side this weekend, though. The Gers welcome mid-table Dundee to Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership as they look to close the gap to league leaders Celtic. They can leapfrog Aberdeen in second depending on the Dons' result at home to Hibernian on Saturday.

Dundee were unable to lay a glove on Rangers during September's meeting in the Scottish League Cup quarter-finals, but enter the weekend clash in confident mood after two 4-1 victories over Hibs and Motherwell during their last four outings.

Rangers vs Dundee score prediction

Rangers may have suffered a setback last weekend but they have been visibly improving in recent weeks. Clement's side have been in impressive form both domestically and on the continent, with goals having been much easier to come by.

The in-form Hamza Igamane will fancy his chances up against a Dundee side who have conceded 29 times in 16 league matches this term, with a number of his attacking teammates also likely to get in on the act at Ibrox.
