Events

Match Events

  • 0' Dundee United FC have kicked off against Rangers FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
  • 5' 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 Cedric Itten suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' A quiet spell here at Tannadice Park. Rangers FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 12' Rangers FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 12.
  • 17' Both keepers have barely been tested. Dundee United FC and Rangers FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 22' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 22 minutes.
  • 26' James Tavernier makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Rangers FC are in front.
  • 31' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Glen Kamara made 182 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 33' Liam Smith makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and Dundee United FC are in front.
  • 38' A moment of madness from Jeando Fuchs on 38 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Dundee United FC will be frustrated.
  • 43' Allan McGregor, a Scotland , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 44' Connor Goldson does the damage! The net is bulging and Rangers FC surge ahead!
  • 49' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 54' Jamie Robson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 59' Rangers FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 64' Dundee United FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 69' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 73' Rangers FC make a change. Alfredo Morelos trudges off to be replaced by Cedric Itten on 73 minutes.
  • 78' 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.
