Scottish Premiership 2024-2025: Dundee FC-Rangers, the likely lineups

Dundee FC-Rangers, the probable formations

The recovery of the 11th day of the Scottish Premiership features Dundee and Glasgow Rangers, two teams with opposite goals. On the one hand, Dundee is aiming for qualification for the play-offs: sixth place, occupied by St. Mirren with 27 points, è only two lengths away. On the other, Rangers chase a Celtic that seems unreachable: the green-and-whites lead the standings with 13 points and are in the running for trophy number 55.

Docherty’s team is having a good run, having won two of their last three league games. The latest feat è the convincing 3-1 away win against St Johnstone, with goals from Murray, Palmer-Houlden and Cameron in the first half. However, at home, recent results are not comforting: heavy defeats against Ross County (0-3) and in the derby against Dundee United (1-2). The goal è access to the poule for Europe, but the ranking è short: the penultimate place, which would force the play-outs, is just two points away.

For Rangers, the season è complicated. Despite a 3-0 triumph in the’Old Firm at the beginning of the year, Clement’s team suffered a blow in the 3-3 draw against Hibernian. Not even Igamane ès hat trick wasn’t enough to get the three points, with the opponents able to come back in the late stages. The numbers do not lie: Rangers scored 18 fewer goals than Celtic (37 vs. 55) and conceded twice as many goals (16 vs. 7). Offensive sterility and defensive frailties are the main ballasts.

Likely lineups

Dundee (3-4-1-2): Carson; Graham, Astley, Robertson; Mulligan, Cameron, Sylla, Tiffoney; Adewumi; Murray, Palmer-Houlden.
Glasgow Rangers (4-2-3-1): Kelly; Yilmaz, Sterling, Propper, Jefte; Diomande, Raskin; Cerny, Bajrami, Hagi; Igamane.
