My Thoughts
Something of a rarity in Scottish football has come about this season: neither of the Old Firm have managed to win at Tannadice. While it must be said that a large part of this is due to both Old Firm sides being a long way off their best this season, it is also testament to the work of Craig Levein at Dundee United, who has made his side fiercely competitive, robust, and very difficult to beat. This will not be the sort of walkover that Old Firm sides could previously expect from most SPL games, especially considering that Dundee United still need a point to confirm their Europa League place next season. In another intriguing twist, Dundee United's keeper, Lukasz Zaluska, will be playing his last game for the club on Sunday. His future employers? Celtic
The Verdict
Rangers' recent results have been good, with the exception of a 1-1 draw at Hibernian, even if performances haven't been quite what they could be. Dundee United were by all accounts disappointing in last weekend's 3-0 defeat at Hearts, and will be desperate to put in a strong performance in their last game of what has been a solid season, in order to secure a Europa League place. Given that all 3 games at Tannadice between the home side and the Old Firm have ended in draws, a 4th draw is certainly not beyond the realms of possibility.
The Bet
The draw can be backed at a best price of 10/3 with Boylesports. Alternatively, Rangers will surely need to score at some point, and in recent weeks the man they have turned to has been Nacho Novo, who can be backed to score anytime at a best price of 11/5 with Extrabet. Dundee United also rely on a Spaniard for goals- Francisco Sandaza- who can be backed at a general 3/1 to score anytime
