Rangers fans hope their team continue to improve with a home win over Dundee in Govan, sending fans into the holidays in high spirits.

The locals occupy an automatic place in the Europa League finals next year, sitting eighth in the pecking order, one point behind Manchester United following a recent 1-1 draw with Tottenham here. They’re also unbeaten in five Premiership starts, winning four and drawing the spare.

Dundee are chasing a top-six finish this season and travel to Govan following a decent run of results. The visitors have won three, drawn one, and lost two of their last six league games.

They were beaten 2-0 by lowly Hearts at Tynecastle in their most recent outing but have enjoyed a break since then and are expected to return fresh and ready for action. Will they cause an upset at Ibrox?

Rangers vs Dundee Odds

There are no surprises in the pre-match betting odds available on the Betfred website and mobile app. Rangers are the strong favourites to collect an 11th win in 16 games, putting pressure on second-placed Aberdeen during a busy month of fixtures.

Rangers beat Ross County 3-0 in Dingwall when last in Premiership action and you can back them for another win on Saturday at odds of 1/6. That’s tight, but understandable.

Dundee know all the pressure is on the home team here. The visitors are underdogs to get anything out of this match but will set up to frustrate their hosts and get under the skin of the home fans packing the stands.

Dundee saw their rivals Dundee United leave Ibrox with a point earlier this month and would see a share of the spoils as a great result. You can back the draw at 7/1 or chance the away win at a heavyweight 12/1 with Betfred.

Rangers -1 handicap

For our first bet at Ibrox on Saturday, we’re taking the home team to win -1 goal on the handicap. The locals have the quality to get the job done in style. Clement has the luxury of selecting a few players, including Oscar Cortes, who have recently worked their way back from injury. The manager will freshen things up and use his squad to keep the Gers winning.

Rangers have given fans some impressive performances in the Premiership this month, battering Kilmarnock 6-0 before earning that useful 3-0 win over the Staggies. They look dangerous in attack and strong in defence. Backing Rangers -1 against Dundee would’ve earned you a profit in each of the last two meetings, and we fancy the treble.

Rangers 3-0 Dundee

Looking for a bet at more attractive odds? We’ve already enjoyed a few correct score winners on Rangers this season, and I’d love to add another before Christmas. With that in mind, we offer Rangers 3-0 Dundee in the correct score market, and there’s more than enough in that price to back it as a single or add to small weekend multiples.

Interestingly, Rangers beat Dundee 3-0 at Ibrox back in the summer and have won by that scoreline in three of the previous nine. That’s enough to catch our eye, and we back a repeat performance off a small stake. The Gers beat Ross County 3-0, while Dundee failed to score in their last away game, adding weight to our argument.
