Rangers vs Dundee prediction, preview, team news and more

Rangers invite Dundee to Ibrox Stadium on Saturday as they look to consolidate their place at the top of the Scottish Premiership standings.

The reigning champions have made it four wins in a row in league fixtures and recorded a 1-0 victory over Hibernian on Wednesday. Kemar Roofe came on from the bench to score the only goal of the game from the penalty spot in the 85th minute.

Dundee were also victorious in their previous outing as they edged past St. Johnstone in their home game. Danny Mullen's first-half goal was enough to record their third win in four games.

The two clubs have squared off 15 times across all competitions since 2004. As expected, the hosts have been the better side in the fixture with 12 wins to their name. Dundee have been victorious twice while one game has ended in a stalemate.

The Dee are yet to earn a single point in their trips to Ibrox and in the reverse fixture earlier this season they lost 1-0 at home thanks to Joe Aribo's 16th-minute goal.
