Rangers go six without a win over Dundee

Dundee Utd 0 Rangers 0

Alex McLeish will tell you he is not a superstitious man, and that he does not believe in ‘bogey teams’, but the Rangers manager will privately be unnerved by his side’s poor record against Dundee United in the SPL.

Six league games without a win over the Tannadice club do not make good reading for the Scottish champions.

Granted, the home side were forced into some last-gasp defending at times, with Alan Archibald hooking a Dado Prso header off the line.

Undeterred, the Croatian striker whipped a dangerous ball across the face of goal, Jeffers failed to connect, but Peter Lovenkrands pounced only to fire well over from a few yards out.

DUNDEE UTD: Stillie, McCracken, Ritchie, Archibald, Wilson, Canero, Brebner, Kerr, Robson, Fernandez (Miller 71), McIntyre (Samuel 72).

RANGERS: Waterreus, Ricksen, Rodriguez, Kyrgiakos, Bernard, Burke (Namouchi 62), Ferguson, Hemdani, Lovenkrands (McCormack 78), Jeffers (Nieto 53), Prso.

Referee: C Richmond (Scotland).
