Rangers 0 Dundee Utd 0 as Ryan Naderi is inches away from early opener

The message to the Rangers team today is a simple one; win and go top of the table.

It's been too long since Gers fans could point to their team at the Premiership summit.

But beating Dundee Utd at Ibrox will put them there - at least overnight - and knock Hearts off top spot for the first time since September.

It turns out Tuur Rommens is the mystery missing man. He suffered an injury in training and is unlikely to be back until after the split.

Jim Goodwin's side still hold out a feint hope of making the top siz, but they'll need to be perfect as well as favours from Falkirk's opponents over the next two matches.

The Tangerines left Govan with a draw on their last visit, however the same result won't be of much use to either team this time around.

Rangers have had the chance to put down title markers before this season and blown them.

And the pyschological impact of going top - or failing to - could be massive either way.

Rangers: Butland, Sterling, Souttar, Djiga, Meghoma, Raskin, Chukwuani, Skov Olsen, Moore, Aaasgaard, Naderi.

Subs: Kelly, Fernandez, Tavernier, Barron, Diomande, Antman, Gassama, Chermiti, Miovski.

Dundee United: Maynard-Brewer, Iovu, Sevelj, Graham, Ferry, Agyei, Amar Fatah, Farruga, Stephenson, Keresztes, Watters.

Subs: Richards, Strain, Camara, Sapsford, Esselink, Sibbald, Dolcek, Naamo, Cleall-Hard.
