I think the refurb is absolutely stunning. ?

Young Bassey certainly looks the part at LB does he not ? Maybe send agent Brendan a wee thank you ?

https://tv.rangers.co.uk/video/0_5wcrfenp I'm a big fan of Tav, very consistent, strong on the ball, delivers great crosses regularly and has been a great servant to Rangers. He gets way too much criticism IMO. Well done Tav ?

Positives; Another clean sheet - maybe a little fortunate to retain the record, but a brilliant achievement. 4 different goal scorers and all 4 goals were excellent. All subs contributed greatly to the performance. Most complete performance of the season thus far. Putting Scumbee UTD in their place. SG continually referring to them as "Dundee" - hope it's intentional. Roofe will tear this league apart when fully fit. Negatives; Injuries although it sounds 2 out of 4 may not be that serious given SG comments. Clancy's performance. It was "only" 4.

Arfied was sensational when he came on - more like the player we bought.

What a difference watching Rangers TV team, watching the interview with SG was excellent, just talking Rangers

I really like the blue and white crest. Good branding should accommodate continuity and image variation and it’s clear Rangers has finally grasped that. The club has been a marketing backwater for years but there’s a confidence about this new incarnation that speaks volumes.

It's fine. I'm fine. Join an inferior Prediction League. I'm fine. It's fine. I'm fine.

Four if you include Balogun and Morelos. Barker will miss a few.

It shows again how difficult it is to win anything when we see Clancy getting away with continuous cheating, no I'm not paranoid, he is a disgrace and gets away with it, today is another chance for Rangers to highlight this, but we all know it won't happen.

[FT] 4-0 Can't complain... but I will: That should have been double figures!

Some of the best football I’ve seen from us for years coming in this second half, utterly relentless. If our finishing was more clinical we’d be looking at a Bon Accord joab here! Superb stuf

Disagree mate, SG being forced to take Barisic off because of Clancy

Let's hammer them

Been away this week, could not react to an excellent match preview. I noted on Thursday evening, jum Spence Tweeted a history of Dundee United - Rangers fixtures down the ages. Apparently, there have only been two previous clashes. Dundee United have won both Scottish Cup ties, 3-0 and 3-1 for an aggregate score of 6-1. I thank Jum for such disinformation and hopefully, today the mighty Sevco deliver the full service, 6- zip to right Jum’s obvious wrong.

Morning Everyone! I've set up a wee fantasy Premier League for anyone like me who fancies ruining their weekends. It's free to join and myself and David from the pod will be taking part (Colin was going to join but was too intimidated. He does do walking away.

Introduction Well, the much dreaded international break didn't disappoint. It was every bit as tediously boring and excruciatingly long as feared. Tragically, some would eventually succumb to madness as everyone from Paddy Roberts to Alan Power were "linked" with sensational switches to Ibrox as the prospect of even a crumb of a genuine rumour became less and less likely before the end of the break. Fortunately, there was a welcome relief from the deafening silence around Ibrox in the scintillating football played by Steve Clarke's dynamos as Israel were bravely thwarted at Hampden and Czechia's C team were effortlessly brushed aside in Olomouc. But for now, the only thing that matters is that our players came back injury-free. The visit of Dundee United to Ibrox is the first in eight and half years and promises to be an entertaining occasion. On the way back from demotion, a United side very strong at the time put Rangers to the sword twice in the cups and there will be just a little bit of a sense of revenge in mind on this occasion as the balance of power has reverted to the norm. On to this season, both sides will be happy with the start they have made. Rangers have gone six games without conceding and top the league. In early August, spirits were high as the red carpet was rolled out for long term target Kemar Roofe and Swiss striker Cedric Itten. Unfortunately, the green carpet of the Toni Maccaroni put a premature end to their honeymoon period as Rangers toiled to a no-score draw and the usual debates began to rage among the support (Jack and Kamara anyone?). Dundee United may sit in eighth place but they have given their support reason for optimism in the season ahead. The Opposition Tough opening fixtures have perhaps masked the fact that Dundee United have made a comfortable return to the top flight. They have picked up wins at Fir Park and Dingwall and have been very unlucky not to take all three points from hosting St Johnstone and not to take any from the visit of Hibs. The young side took plaudits for holding off Celtic for 83 minutes before cruelly losing the game to a jammy Ajeti strike. But while they have held their own against several top half sides and showcased some good football, their soft underbelly was exposed in a 4-0 humbling at the hands of an experienced, physical and clinical Kilmarnock side. What has not yet been tested is how they can cope with the particular pressures of an away tie in Glasgow. Unlike many Premiership sides, they do not have experience of playing with their backs to the wall and it doesn't seem they have recruited the players to play that kind of system. They normally line up in a 4-1-4-1 with two attack-minded centre midfielders in front of a holding midfielder, but the signing of six foot five centre back Ryan Edwards has given them the option of switching to a 3-5-2 which might give them more of a chance of holding out at Ibrox. Dangermen Despite currently looking like a bottom half side, the Arabs have not one but two strikers who have made a name for themselves as prolific goalscorers. Lawrence Shankland has scored an incredible 89 goals in 106 games and often only needs one chance to score. Nicky Clark has never quite rediscovered the form that saw him score 41 goals in the 12/13 season, but showed his worth last season when he scored or assisted a goal in all but one of the last 12 games of the season and has carried that form into this season. On the creative side, Manchester City youngster Luke Bolton is on loan for the season and possesses devastating pace on the right wing. In a game where the Tangerines' strategy will be all about the counter attack, any chances created are likely to come from the ball being played into space behind Barisic for Bolton to run onto before trying to find Clark or Shankland with a hard and low cross. Rangers Rangers will be looking to pick up where they left off after bouncing back from the disappointment at Livingston to pick up two 2-0 wins. The loss of Aribo to injury for another month is a big blow, and all but confirms that the team will remain unchanged in the middle of the park for the time being. McGregor's injury confirms that Jon McLaughlin will keep his place in goals too. The experienced keeper perhaps hasn't had the praise he deserves for his role in our new clean sheet record and former Hearts boss Craig Levein was keen to point out that Jon McLaughlin broke a 100 year clean sheet record in his time at Hearts too. Further up the park, the returns of Defoe and Itten are a big boost to Gerrard in terms of the options available to him but the two big talking points are likely to be whether Morelos will return and whether Barker will retain his place. Morelos has been training well and, according to Gerrard, is looking sharper. Both questions may be answered in one change with Kemar Roofe dropping into Barker's position behind Morelos, but I think it is more likely that Gerrard will go with the same team. Whatever the line-up, it is of course essential that Rangers pick up three points, but fans will be hoping to see the forwards being far more clinical in front of goal too and taking the opportunity to send a message to Celtic that this season we aren't going to give up the top spot so easily. Verdict Dundee United possess much more danger on the counter attack than St Mirren, St Johnstone and Kilmarnock, but their dismantling at Rugby Park has rung some alarm bells among the Arab support and their first visit to Ibrox after promotion is likely to be one they will want to forget. Rangers 3-0 Dundee United Predicted Line-up

How easily the Kirk Broadfoot years are forgotten. ?

Shades of Neil Simpson tackle on Durrant except for expression of intent shown by Simpson.

Clancy is the only referee on the planet that would choose not to give a card of any description for that challenge.

Very good win all played well,Clancy usual biased cheat,should have been two reds yet one not even carded!!!!. SG after game confirms Jack/Barker strains to be assessed and that Alfie has a deep gash to his knee but nothing ligament wise but needs checked. No doubt compliance officer will blank as usual.

Good win and a better 2nd half. Should have been about 11 or 12 tbh. Subs integrated seamlessly and another clean sheet. Happy days.

Well said Bill. Couldn't agree more. We've been way behind on this for years and IMO we've been relying on looking back for far too long. Let's keep looking forward. Take a bow marketing team

Correct Result (1 pt): Everyone who entered. Correct Number of Rangers Goals (1pt): One, WB91, Bill, Devil, gisabeer, Uilleam and FS. FGS (2 pts): One, compo, Stewarty, Yorkie, BD, Franc, BF, CammyF, FS, 26th and TB. Correct Score (3 pts): One, WB91, Bill, gisabeer, Uilleam and FS. Onevision and FS gained the Full 7 points. Latest Standings:

four going on ten! Bit sloppy near the end but overall very good win. Hope Utd go down - preferably the tubes - dirty *******s

A good win and result but am I being unreasonable by being annoyed at not scoring more? If you'd day 4-0 beforehand I'd have been happy so let's take the points and move on. Fingers crossed our injured players are available again quickly. MotM was Roofe for me - incredible work rate and did well to grab a goal!

Well deserved, Arfield.

Just Clancy being Clancy, shocking!!!

Clancey is a fucking arsehole. What the fuck is he watching. Morelos has a massive gash on his bloody thigh. Corrupt as hell

Not even a free kick given!!!, Clancy being Clancy

How's that not at least a booking?

Obviously happy with score but less happy with the performance in general. We started far too slowly and are still too pedestrian at times. Our use of the ball at key moments has also been below par (crosses, touch and final ball) which is annoying when Dundee Utd are making things tight space-wise. We really need to go up a gear or two as, when we do, we're unplayable at times. PS: Same goes for the RTV director who seems to prefer viewing long, irrelevant replays and shots of the scenery rather than the actual game.

Got lucky there

As much as I don’t want to see any Rangers player getting injured, that has strengthened us.

Balogun replaced by Helander for the start,

Slaughters DUTD as a club for the way they have treated Rangers/Rangers fans

Fear we’re missing Aribo when I see that line-up. Creates & scores goals. He’s come on a ton since he signed.

As the Rev. Spooner observed, perspicaciously, "Jum is a shining wit".

I really really like this , though its going to be marmite to our support

Dimethylamylamine? ,..that's a bigger word than tatties.

Think Leicester will go into steep decline this season under Rodgers.
