Dundee preview: Hoping to put up a fight against the favoured rival
While Dundee FC have lost four of their last six games, they've gone to international break in good mood after securing a win in the city derby against Dundee United. That being said, they are currently second-last in the standings, only ahead of St Johnstone by five points.
When it comes to team news, Billy Koumetio, Scott Fraser, Clark Robertson, Juan Portales, and Sebastian Palmer-Houlden are out with injuries at this time.

Rangers preview: Still struggling to find consistency
With two losses in their last four games in the Premiership, Rangers have continued their inconsistent form, which is why they're 13 points behind Celtic in the title race. However, they did beat Celtic in their previous game in the league and that could give them the motivation to try to catch up with them in the remaining matches, although the chances of that happening are slim to none.
Meanwhile, Rangers are currently without injured Neraysho Kasanwirjo, while Leon Balogun is questionable.

Player to watch: Vaclav Cerny
The right-winger on loan from Wolfsburg has been one of Rangers' best players in the league this season, with 11 goals and two assists to his name. With that in mind, Cerny will be the biggest threat to Dundee's defence in this match.
