Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Ibrox Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Rangers FC and Dundee United FC.
- 5' Calum Butcher has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 7' Luke Bolton has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 7.
- 11' Time for substitution for Rangers FC. Ryan Jack is replaced by Glen Kamara.
- 13' Assisted by Ianis Hagi with the perfectly-timed delivery and Ryan Kent makes no mistake. 1-0!
- 18' 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 Jon McLaughlin suffering a number of foals already.
- 23' The Rangers FC bench stirs into life. Brandon Barker is withdrawn and Alfredo Morelos gets his opportunity.
- 28' Rangers FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Dundee United FC backline.
- 31' Borna Barisic was booked on 31.
- 36' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 39' James Tavernier does the damage! The net is bulging and Rangers FC surge ahead!
- 44' Nicky Clark has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 46' The whistle greets Dillon Powers as he departs to be replaced by Logan Chalmers.
- 51' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 56' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 58' Scott Arfield is replacing Alfredo Morelos for the Rangers FC side.
- 59' A change in the Dundee United FC ranks — Nicky Clark exits the field as Lawrence Shankland enters on 59.
- 64' Borna Barisic is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Dundee United FC so far.
- 68' Kemar Roofe adds to his 0 season tally! Rangers FC lead 3-0 — and this changes everything.
- 70' The referee calls foul for Ryan Edwards. He receives a Yellow card.
- 75' Rangers FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 80' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Steven Gerrard will be considering his options from the bench.
- 81' Dundee United FC make a change. Luke Bolton trudges off to be replaced by Adrian Sporle on 81 minutes.
- 83' Peter Pawlett catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 83.
- 87' Against the run of play, Scott Arfield has scored! This game has turned on its head.
