Rangers FC managed to leave Dundee United with three points today after winning 0-1 at Tannadice.
At a sun soaked Tannadice Park it was Rangers that dictated the game in terms of possession and goal threat. In the seventh minute
Rangers forward Tom Lawrence ran straight through the United defence and managed to lob the ball over the goalkeeper: 0-1.
After the goal the visitors pushed for the second, but Philippe Clement’s men couldn’t turn their dominance into more goals. Just before half time Cyriel Dessers got a clean shot on target from inside the box, but the striker couldn’t make life difficult for United goalie Jack Walton.
After the break Lawrence got another clean strike at goal, but this time he couldn’t get passed Walton. On the other end Dundee United got a big chance via Kristijan Trapanovski. The Macedonian winger’s strike from the edge of the box only narrowly missed the target, with the ball hitting the side of the right post. It was the biggest chance of the home side of the game. The game ended 0-1.
