Dundee vs Rangers Predictions
Dundee welcome Rangers to Dens Park for a Scottish Premiership encounter on Saturday.
The Gers have picked up some excellent results in recent weeks and, with a strong record in this fixture, should be backed to maintain winning form.
Rangers win & over 2.5 goals is my best bet.

- Dundee have seen over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches
- Dundee lost 4 of their last 9 matches
- Dundee lost 6 of their last 8 matches against Rangers
- Rangers have seen over 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 matches against Dundee

Rangers Unbeaten in Recent Meetings
Dundee and Rangers have met 16 times in competitive fixtures since 2020. Rangers won 13 of those encounters, while three ended level.
The Glasgow side won the most recent meeting 3-0 at Ibrox in January.
Dundee have not beaten Rangers since 2017.
Dundee Build Momentum With Back-to-Back Wins
Dundee return to Dens Park after a dramatic 2-1 victory at Falkirk last Saturday.
Owen Bevan cancelled out Jacob Murrell's first-half penalty before Ashley Hay struck in stoppage time to secure a vital victory for the Dark Blues.
Steven Pressley's side carried the greater threat for much of the contest. Dundee outshot Falkirk 23-15 and had nine efforts on target to the hosts’ four.
The hosts did finish with a higher xG of 2.31 compared to the visitors' 1.90.
The Dark Blues also beat Motherwell 2-1 at home before the international break and have now recorded back-to-back Premiership victories for only the second time this year.
Pressley’s men now sit fourth in the Premiership, with 13 points picked up from eight league fixtures.
The Dark Blues have been reliable in front of goal, scoring in seven consecutive league matches since their opening day defeat at Celtic.
Frequently involved in high-scoring Premiership contests, Dundee have seen at least three goals scored in 71% of their league matches since February.
Rangers Chase Eighth Successive Victory
Rangers make the trip to Tayside after a straightforward 3-1 home victory against Kilmarnock last Saturday.
Ryan Naderi scored twice before half-time, either side of Kevin Kelsy's goal, to put the hosts firmly in control at the break.
Nicky Clescenco grabbed a late consolation as Kilmarnock denied Rangers a fifth successive clean sheet.
Derek McInnes' side were clinical in the first half but less convincing after the interval. Rangers had 59% possession, outshot Kilmarnock 18-13 and recorded an xG of 1.93 compared to the visitors' 1.25.
Last weekend’s success extended Rangers' winning run to seven matches in all competitions, including six straight league wins.
Back-to-back wins against Old Firm rivals Celtic have lifted confidence at Ibrox, with a 3-0 League Cup victory in Govan backed up by a superb 1-0 Premiership success at Parkhead.
The visitors sit second in the division, two points behind Celtic, after collecting 19 points from eight league games.
A strong record in this fixture will add to the Gers expectations this weekend. The Glasgow giants scored an average of 2.62 goals per game while winning eight of their 11 most recent encounters.
Dundee vs Rangers Team News
Dundee: (4-4-2) Owen Goodman; Drey Wright, Ryan Astley, Owen Bevan, Imari Samuels; Joe Bevan, Callum Jones, Ethan Hamilton, Alan Forrest; Bradley Fink, Ashley Hay.
Dundee boss Pressley could retain confidence in the same XI that edged past Falkirk.
The Dark Blues have a handful of injury issues this weekend. Simon Murray, Finlay Robertson and Jack Moorhouse remain sidelined with serious knee injuries.
Joe Westley and Bobby Wales are also expected to miss out with ankle issues.
Zan Besir is available again after suspension.
"It was a really competitive game, and I felt over the course of the ninety minutes that we probably just edged it. John (McGlynn) has done a terrific job with this Falkirk side, they're a very well organised side, especially at home.
"I spoke to the players prior to the game as we've been working on certain things over the last three weeks, but it wasn't that I focused on.”
“I said you won't get any result against this Falkirk team without doing the basics of the game, and I thought we were very good at that. The duels, second balls and aggression, so I couldn't be prouder of the group.”
Rangers: (4-2-3-1) Ivor Pandur; Dujon Sterling, Emmanuel Fernandez, Olwethu Makhanya, James Penrice; Nicolas Raskin, Dan Neil; Min-su Kim, Ryan Don Naderi, Djeidi Gassama; Kevin Kelsy.
Rangers boss McInnes is expected to name the same side that eased past Kilmarnock last weekend.
Cammy Devlin is sidelined with a hamstring injury, while Lawrence Shankland, Youssef Chermiti and Daisuke Yokota remain long-term absentees.
Dujon Sterling is available despite being forced off against Kilmarnock last time out.
McInness lamented the three-week-long international break after last week’s success at Ibrox.
"The job today was to win the game. Eight of my starting XI were away travelling (on international duty). I didn't want to mess about with the team being in such good form. The job was done well for enough spells, but we looked like a team that hadn't been together for a while."
"The break is too long for me, and it impacts on clubs when there's so many away."
"Three good goals, my strikers scoring, and we still created some chances in the second half even though we looked a bit lethargic."
Verdict
Rangers have won seven successive matches and should have enough quality to extend that run at Dens Park.
Dundee are capable of scoring, but the Gers should prove too strong in a lively contest at Dens Park.
Rangers win & over 2.5 goals is my best bet.
