Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Tannadice Park. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Dundee United FC and Rangers FC.
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mark Reynolds made 351 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' Cedric Itten is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Dundee United FC so far.
- 12' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Alfredo Morelos.
- 17' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 22' It looks surprising Rangers FC does not make any changes. Liam Smith has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 26' GOAL! James Tavernier scores on 26.
- 31' The travelling Rangers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 33' What a moment for Liam Smith! That strike on 33 puts his side firmly in control.
- 38' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Jeando Fuchs.
- 43' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Dundee United FC and Rangers FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 44' Connor Goldson adds to his 0 season tally! Rangers FC lead 1-2 — and this changes everything.
- 49' Rangers FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 54' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Benjamin Siegrist suffering a number of foals already.
- 59' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 64' It looks like no one’s ball. Rangers FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 69' Adrian Sporle has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 73' Rangers FC ring the changes. Alfredo Morelos has done his job and it is now time for Cedric Itten to step up.
- 78' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 81' Another substitution for Rangers FC to replace Glen Kamara by Bongani Zungu on 81 minute.
- 86' The Rangers FC bench stirs into life. Ryan Kent is withdrawn and Joe Aribo gets his opportunity.
- Game over. The scoreline of 1-2 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
