Dundee United 0 Rangers 1 LIVE as Tom Lawrence fires home opener at Tannadice

It would be remiss to describe a contest on matchday five of the Scottish Premiership season as season-defining, however, the stakes couldn't be higher for Rangers.

If they fall to undefeated Dundee United at Tannadice and they would find themselves eight points behind rivals Celtic and Aberdeen – a mammoth hole for Philippe Clement to clamber out of.

But the Belgian deals in good vibes only and he is utterly certain Rangers are on the up. Chairman John Bennett has exited but Clement is adamant he will turn things around.

Jim Goodwin isn't ready to boast, however, the Irishman has shown his mettle to bounce back from his chastening Aberdeen exit to put together a Dundee United team worth watching. A win will put them four points clear of Rangers today. Heady times at Tannadice.

Dundee United: Walton, Holt, Graham, Trapanovski, Babunski, Ferry, Sibbald, Adeboyega, Stephenson, Van Der Sande, Gallagher Subs: Richards, Sevelj, Moult, Odada, Middleton, Dalby, Docherty, Thomson, Meshack

Rangers: Butland, Tavernier, Souttar, Propper, Jefte, Barrin, Diomande, Dowell, Lawrence, Cortes, Dessers Subs: Kelly, Bajrami, Kasanwirjo, Sterling, Balogun, Igamane, Raskin, McCausland, Fraser

Tom Lawrence opens the scoring for the visitors.

He bursts into the box after Dessers turns it round a corner to him.

It's a lovely little dink to take it over the keeper.

Dessers goes down in the box as he looks to get up for a Tavernier cross but the referee isn't interested and the VAR check is swiftly over too.

Yesterday's top-flight fixtures were packed with VAR incidents, will this one too?

Luca Stephenson does well
