"Rangers have still only suffered one league defeat all season, but it is draws that are hampering them and they cannot afford to fall more than the current seven points behind Celtic and nine off Hearts. After their own 1-1 draw away to Kilmarnock on Saturday, United have themselves now shared the points on six of their 13 Premiership outings, including that visit to Ibrox."
"It was a 1-1 draw away to the Bairns in October that put paid to Martin's short reign and that was followed by a 2-2 draw with United at Ibrox while managerless Rangers decided who should be his successor. Rohl had won four Premiership games in a row until the Bairns came calling, but overall they have won just two of their past six outings as the German has been hampered by the same shortcomings to his squad as his predecessor."
Five midweek Premiership matches could influence December momentum as leaders and chasers host struggling opponents. Hearts and Celtic are expected to capitalise on home advantage against Dundee and Kilmarnock. Rangers remain unbeaten in 17 away league games but recent draws, including a goalless home draw with Falkirk, reveal ongoing issues since Russell Martin's departure and Danny Rohl's arrival. Rohl won four league games in a row but Rangers have claimed just two wins in six outings, with draws leaving them seven points behind Celtic and nine behind Hearts. Dundee United have shared points six times in 13 matches and have one win in eight.
