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.

Predicted lineup: Butland (GK), Sterling, Souttar, Propper, Tavernier, Barron, Raskin, Yilmaz, Diomande, Cerny & Dessers

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.
