Dundee v Rangers
Wednesday 1st November – 7:45pm Kick-Off
The Scot Foam Stadium at Dens Park
cinch Premiership
After Saturday’s 0-2 away win at Livingston The Dee are back at home on Wednesday night when we host Rangers under the lights at the Scot Foam Stadium at Dens Park. The team are currently unbeaten in their last four matches and will be looking to extend the run past Wednesday night.
Rangers travel to Dundee under the guidance of new Manager Philippe Clement. Clement has been in the post since the 15th of October and tonight will be his fourth game in charge of the Glasgow side and is so far undefeated since taking over as Manager. It was a 4-0 win at home to Hibs on his debut before a 0-0 draw away to Sparta Prague in the Europa League. On Sunday they hosted Hearts at Ibrox and won 2-1 with two very late goals, a James Tavernier penalty in the 89th minute and then a Danilo winner in the 93rd minute. The win on Sunday saw them close the gap on leaders Celtic at the top of the league table to five points. Rangers will come into this match full of confidence and looking to extend their unbeaten run under Clement.
Dundee’s last win against Rangers came on the 24th of November 2017 when Mark O’Hara scored a double for The Dee in a 2-1 victory at Dens. The last time the sides met was last season in the Quarter-Final of the League Cup with Rangers advancing to the Semi-Final after a 1-0 victory at Ibrox.

Tony’s thoughts
“There is a different style about Rangers with the new manager. You can see that he is a real competitor. They’ve had two domestic home games, which they’ve won, in different ways. Certainly, the mentality they showed to win the Hearts game and performance levels against Hibs, it shows that the new manager has had an impact. This is his first domestic away game, so we will be looking to make it difficult for a very good Rangers team and a good manager, but we will be doing our best to make it a tough night.
“We are going into the game with confidence. We’ve kept three clean sheets in our last three games and I think that’s important going into this one. If we have the confidence to try and maintain those levels, then it will allow us to give ourselves an opportunity and give ourselves a chance to get something from the game.”
Zak Rudden
“I know what Rangers are like, I was there when I was a young lad. I know how big a club they are and, the last two times, we haven’t done too bad against them. I don’t see why we can’t make an upset. Our home record as well does help. It makes you believe that you can go and challenge any team, but we aren’t stupid at the same time. We know it will be a tough game with what they bring and the many different dynamics of their team.”
