Scottish Premiership: Dundee United vs Rangers – Key Changes and Formations
The Scottish Premiership faces a busy Sunday as several top teams return to action. Among them are the teams of Dundee United and Rangers, who will clash in an important fixture that sees significant changes to both squads.
Dundee United: A New Approach
Manager Steven Pressley has opted for some tactical adjustments at Dundee United as they prepare to face Rangers. With Simon Murray missing due to injury, captain Joe Westley drops to the bench, and Emile Acquah leads the home attack alongside Tony Yogane.
New Faces in the Lineup
Dundee United’s starting lineup includes three changes from their last match. Among these are the return of Emile Acquah, who makes his second league start for the team, and the introduction of 20-year-old Dylan Lobban as he continues his run at right wing-back.
Rangers: Returning to Familiar Formations
Manager Danny Röhl has opted for a traditional 4-4-2 formation with Rangers. The inclusion of Danilo and Bojan Miovski up front suggests a more attacking approach, while Derek Cornelius returns to the defense after Thursday’s Europa League defeat.
Middle of the Park
In midfield, Mohamed Diomande reprises his role, replacing Max Aarons, Connor Barron, and Youssef Chermiti. This change in the middle of the park could be crucial as Rangers look to maintain possession and control the game.
Scottish European Representatives: Back on Track
The matches this Sunday are particularly significant for Scottish teams competing in European competitions. Aberdeen’s Conference League point away to Larnaca was a minor comfort, while Celtic and Rangers aim to stay close to Hearts after their respective defeats.
