Stalemate at Tannadice

Dundee United 0 Rangers 0

Champions-elect Rangers may have to wait longer than they had hoped to secure the SPL title after being held to a goalless draw by 10-man Dundee United at Tannadice tonight.

A win would have allowed the Glasgow giants to wrap up the championship with another victory over Hearts at Ibrox on Sunday – but they now need Celtic to drop points against Hibernian 24 hours earlier for that to happen.

United – who are hoping to catch the Hoops for the runners-up spot – managed to hold on for a point despite seeing Mihael Kovacevic dismissed with 20 minutes to go.
