Events

Match Events

  • 5' Allan Campbell has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

  • 15' Scotland international Glenn Middleton has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 20' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Samuel Harding makes it 0-1.
  • 25' A stunning finish from Cyriel Dessers — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 30' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 35' Both keepers have barely been tested. Rangers FC and Dundee United FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 40' Dundee United FC have won 182 goals from 188 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 45' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 50' A quiet spell here at Ibrox Stadium. Rangers FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 55' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 60' It’s gonna be a card for Vicko Sevelj.
  • 65' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Rangers FC and Dundee United FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 70' The energy levels are beginning to show. Barry Ferguson might look to freshen things up shortly.

  • 82' The crowd applauds Connor Barron as he leaves the pitch. Bailey Rice steps in for Rangers FC.
  • 87' 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 Ross Docherty suffering a number of foals already.
  • 88' Dundee United FC ring the changes. Vicko Sevelj has done his job and it is now time for Ruari Paton to step up.
  • Rangers FC celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
