Rangers will be hoping to register their first win of the Scottish Premiership season when Dundee head to Ibrox on Saturday.

The Gers were held to a 1-1 draw at Motherwell last weekend and manager Russell Martin subsequently made some big calls when choosing his starting XI for the first leg of the Champions League qualifier against Viktoria Plzen on Tuesday, in which his side ran out comfortable 3-0 winners.

Dundee were beaten 2-1 at home to Hibernian in their first match of the league campaign and they could be in for another difficult evening when they make the trip to Glasgow.

Team news

Rangers captain James Tavernier and midfielder Nicolas Raskin were both dropped for the midweek Champions League win over Viktoria Plzen and the duo may have to settle for a place on the bench again.

Dujon Sterling, Hamza Igamane and Thelo Aasgaard remain sidelined for the Gers due to injury.

As for Dundee, they are unlikely to be able to call upon the services of Charlie Reilly and Simon Murray, who are both dealing with knocks.

The stats

Rangers have won their last two competitive matches at home to nil, beating Panathinaikos 2-0 and then Plzen 3-0.

The Gers are unbeaten in the last 17 meetings against Dundee, winning 14 of those.

Rangers have won the last 19 clashes against the Dark Blues at Ibrox, scoring 57 times at an average of three per game.

Djeidi Gassama has scored four goals in as many appearances since joining the Gers in the summer.

Dundee managed just two shots in their 2-1 defeat to Hibs last time out.

The Dark Blues last won at Ibrox in March 2001, when goals from Claudio Caniggia and Steven Milne helped claim the three points.

Prediction

Rangers were disappointing in their season opener against Motherwell, but the way Martin's side responded in the Champions League in midweek will have pleased the manager and he will be hoping those same levels can be repeated.

Any close to that standard will likely be enough to get the better of Dundee, who were outplayed at home to Hibs last weekend and were all too often opened up by the visitors.

The Gers' record against Dundee, especially at Ibrox, is phenomenal and the hosts should create plenty of scoring opportunities against a fragile opposition defence.

With this in mind, it could be worth siding with Djeidi Gassama, who joined from Sheffield Wednesday in the summer, to continue his fantastic start to life in Glasgow.

The 21-year-old grabbed a brace against Plzen on Tuesday, making it four goals in four matches for Rangers, and he looks capable of finding the back of the net once again.
