Rangers return to Scottish Premiership action this weekend when they take on bottom side Dundee United at Ibrox, with Michael Beale once again expected to name a relatively settled starting line-up.
The Ibrox side ran out 4-2 winners over Motherwell prior to the international break and the Light Blues boss will know a victory is crucial as he gets his side prepared to face Glasgow Derby rivals Celtic a week later.
This match will serve as somewhat of a dress rehearsal and Beale is expected to substitute any player at potential risk of injury or suspension as a matter of priority against Jim Goodwin’s relegation-threatened outfit.
It’s unlikely Beale will make a raft of changes so close to a Derby showdown, meaning at least three quarters of the presumed Old Firm XI will start this fixture.
Here, we predict the Rangers line-up to start against the Tangerines:

6. John Lundstram - CM
Has looked a shadow of his former self at times this season but with Nicolas Raskin a doubt after sustaining a “small injury” prior to the international break the Scouser should keep his spot. | Getty Images
7. Ryan Jack - CM

8. Todd Cantwell - CAM
Outstanding against Motherwell at Fir Park, breaking his goal scoring duck for the club. Has been a real livewire since his January arrival. | Getty Images
