00:00so far, so the locals here at Tenerdice are more than up for this challenge.
00:08Rangers have had a fortnight to skew over another Old Firm defeat and they are a team in need.
00:15In need of a positive performance, maybe in need of any kind of win, absolutely.
00:30Tenerdice certainly sounds ready for action.
00:53Let's have a look at today's teams.
00:56Jim Goodwin names an unchanged side.
00:59Jack Walton is back for a second season on loan from Luton.
01:03Ross Graham has scored winning goals in two of the last three games.
01:07Lucas Stephenson is on loan from Liverpool and another new arrival, Will Ferry, has made an impact.
01:14As have David Babunski and Christian Trapanowski and big striker Jorg van der Zander.
01:20Sub Louis Malter scored four goals in six games against Rangers.
01:25Glenn Middleton could face his former club six years to the day since he scored his first Rangers goal.
01:32Philippe Clement makes three changes from the Old Firm, but it's as he were just in front of Jack Bolland.
01:38John Suter returns to his roots. He made his Dundee United debut aged 16.
01:44Connor Barron and Mohamed Diomande patrol the midfield.
01:48Here are the three changes. There's a surprise start for Kieran Dowell
01:52because Václav Czerny is ill and Oscar Cortes returns from injury.
01:57Cyril Deciz has scored five goals in the first seven games.
02:01Nadeem Pairami and Raisho Kassanwerho could make their debuts from the bench,
02:07but Rabih Matondo and Danilo are injured.
02:12David Babunski has added some quality to the Dundee United ranks,
02:17but then he did spend a decade in Barcelona's academy.
02:21He's yet to lose in eight games in Scotland.
02:25Oscar Cortes has had his injury issues at Rangers last season and already this season,
02:31but the Colombian winger clearly has something to offer if he can stay fit.
02:38It's a good win and Philippe Clement are together for the first time.
02:42Before kick-off there will be a minute's applause for Ron Yates,
02:45who started his career at Dundee United before moving to Liverpool
02:50where he became a leader and a legend across a decade at Anfield,
02:56described by Bill Shankly as a colossus.
03:00But this is where it all began for Ron.

04:20FOOTBALL PLAYERS CHANTING
04:51Dundee United go into a game against Rangers, above them in the table,
04:55for the first time since 1993, when Ivan Golak was in charge.
05:00But Walter Smith, Rangers won 3-1 that day.
05:03Walter, of course, spent so much of his life connected to these two clubs.
05:10Tavernier into Dessus, looking for an early opening.
05:15I believe free kick is given against him.
05:18It's a good early start for Rangers. James Tavernier firing the ball in.
05:23Just running over, he's giving it for the shirt pull.
05:26To be honest, I think both of them are at it.
05:28Declan Gallagher deals with it anyway.
05:30It's not a great touch from Cyril Dessus, but he almost gets lucky.
05:3850 games in charge for Philippe Clement.
05:43He won 21 of his first 25.
05:48But it's not been quite so smooth in the last 25.
06:00Oscar Cortes caught in possession there.
06:08Lucas Stephenson is on loan from Liverpool,
06:11in that wing-back role, with Ryan Strain,
06:14who joined from St Mirren, an early casualty this season.
06:19That's a really settled side already, this.
06:23Craig Sybil, though, has been part of the furniture here for a while.
06:45Cortes.
06:51Connor Barron now for James Tavernier.
06:58James Suter returning to his first club.
07:04Jeff Day continuing at left-back in the continued absence of Ritvan Yilmaz.
07:10Tom Lawrence now.
07:15All just hoping to get that old firm loss out of their system,
07:18but they've had to wait a while to try and do that,
07:22due to the international break.
07:24Yeah, they've had a lot of time to think about it.
07:26There's been a huge reaction, as you would expect.
07:29But, you know, on the flip side, it means a bit of time
07:32to, you know, gel the newer players in.
07:34The time they want to get out of it,
07:36I know there's been players away on the international break,
07:39but just be desperate for this game to come round
07:42and get off to a good start in the game
07:44and try and, you know, put that to the back of their minds
07:47on their last time out.
07:49But it's easier said than done sometimes.
07:55Lawrence.
07:57Diamande took over.
08:00Left-hays cross.
08:03Left-hays cross.
08:05Was blocked.
08:12Rangers have lost on three of their last six visits here.
08:15It has proved to be a daunting venue for them in recent years.
08:21Yeah, I think immediately, you know, after the game against Celtic,
08:24you're looking at the next fixture for Rangers,
08:26and you know this is going to be a tough game.
08:28Dundee United off to a great start.
08:30Settled side, settled formation, settled style of play.
08:34Always going to be difficult to come up against.
08:40Tavernier.
08:44Diamande.
08:47Kieran Dowell making his first premiership start for Rangers
08:51since that, sorry to mention it, 3-2 defeat at Ross County
08:55towards the end of last season.
08:58Yeah, he's playing, you know, in a position
09:01that he hasn't been deployed in too often for Rangers and for Cherney.
09:08Yeah, Vaclav Cherney did train yesterday
09:10but felt ill afterwards and even worse as the day progressed.
09:15So he's been good as well so far, Cherney, for Rangers.
09:19Yeah, and you feel that, you know, the one thing he needs is games
09:24and, you know, for him to be missing.
09:26A huge blow for him personally.
09:28Philippe Clement and the team
09:30to try and build a bit of rhythm
09:32within even just the team selection.
09:37Tavernier.
09:39Odessa's going to ground
09:41and is looking at the referee.
09:46My first thought was, could Serio Odessa's go and attack it?
09:54It's a great ball in from Tavernier.
09:58I mean, it was down a little bit easy for me.
10:00I think that Odessa's can go and attack that.
10:02Great delivery from Tavernier, begging just to be attacked.
10:06Well, there were a lot of VAR incidents yesterday.
10:09The check for that is complete
10:11and it won't be a penalty to Rangers.
10:14Yeah, I can see why.
10:16I think Adebayoaga's coming in.
10:18There might be some sort of contact
10:20but you're allowed to have contact.
10:22I think Odessa's go down a little bit too easily for me.
10:25And my first thought, my initial thought was
10:27go and attack it.
10:28Don't allow the defender to get back inside
10:30because he's in a good position.
10:32It's a tremendous delivery from James Tavernier.
10:34Hey, hey!
10:50A busy schedule ahead for Philippe Piemont's Rangers.
10:55Six games in 22 days across three different competitions.
11:01And it is time to rise to every occasion.
11:06Cortez for Odessa's.
11:08Now Lawrence promising this.
11:11It's very promising for Tom Lawrence!
11:17He made that his own!
11:20And that is just what Rangers needed.
11:24An early goal to calm things down.
11:27To settle things down.
11:30As they look for one big response today.
11:34Well, they were looking for a fast half.
11:37They got it.
11:38And a little touch from Cyril Dessers.
11:40Just inside there is what sets it off.
11:43Tom Lawrence still got a lot to do.
11:45He gets a slight bit of fortune with the ricochet.
11:48Misses post of running to get him support.
11:50And beyond Cyril Dessers.
11:52And then when he gets into the position.
11:54Lovely little dink.
11:56Into the back of the net.
11:57Rangers needed a fast half today.
11:59They have certainly got one.
12:00Tom Lawrence, one of those players that has come in for a bit of stick.
12:03Stepping up and putting the ball into the back of the net.
12:08Well, he was only a sub in the old firm.
12:10But back in the starting line-up today.
12:12And to great effect already.
12:16An individual effort.
12:19Giving Rangers the advantage.
12:23In what was always likely to be a challenging contest.
12:29Yeah, without a doubt.
12:31As much as it will anger Jim Goodwin.
12:34Because it comes initially from a Dundee United throw-in.
12:38But you have to credit Rangers.
12:40Because they know there are going to be balls up the line.
12:42Long balls.
12:43And have to deal with that.
12:44Pick up certain balls.
12:45A little touch and awareness from Dessers is excellent.
12:48And Tom Lawrence knows.
12:50If he makes that run, then Dessers will find him.
12:54Here is Cortez.
12:57In towards Diamande.
12:58Lawrence takes over.
13:02Jeff Des Cross.
13:09Cortez over there.
13:12Jeff Des floating it in.
13:14Big chance for Dessers.
13:16Dessers.
13:22I can see instantly the reaction from Rangers.
13:25And what that goal has done for them.
13:29Dowell.
13:31Shrugging off Gallagher.
13:35It is a really positive start for Rangers.
13:37Jeff Des Cross.
13:39Diamande.
13:41Trying to keep it alive.
13:43Cleared by Holt.
13:46A great start for Rangers.
13:48Dundee United, you can look at them defensively.
13:50In respect to the goal conceded.
13:52But they look as if they rattled a little bit as well.
13:55Given the fact that they have gone behind.
14:10Rangers appear to be rather fired up.
14:13And they needed to be.
14:17Dessers.
14:23They are carrying Dowell now.
14:26Cortez, lovely flick.
14:27He is having a hop at that.
14:29And definitely Gallagher in the way.
14:31And Rangers relentless at the start.
14:34Jeff Des Cross.
14:36Steered away by Ross Greve.
14:40Yes, and you look at the little flex inside.
14:43The confidence that is oozing out of the side.
14:45It is quite unbelievable given the pressure.
14:47And the expectation coming into the game.
14:49But it just shows you what an early goal can do for you.
15:04Dundee United, they have to regain their composure.
15:08On the ball, when they win it back.
15:10They have to make sure they find a teammate.
15:12At the minute it has just gone back to Rangers.
15:15They have to find a teammate.
15:17They have to find a teammate to allow them to go and attack
15:19them.
15:21And when they are doing that, the movement, the interchange of
15:23players in and around that front area for Rangers.
15:25Dundee United are struggling with it.
15:27They have to try to regain their composure as quick as they can.
15:37Connor Barron now for John Soutar.
15:45Diomande.
15:47Jeff Dey.
15:51Cortez, a lovely return.
15:53Jeff Dey fires that in.
15:55It is just going to invade everyone.
16:00It is a great play again.
16:02So simple.
16:04One-two.
16:06Stevenson switches off.
16:08And you have to say, they get down the line of the cross and
16:10defend it well in the end.
16:13It is a great play.
16:15It is a great play.
16:17Rangers, a little movement.
16:19A little one-two touch pass.
16:21It is looking really good so far.
16:27Rangers full of promise.
16:29Full of purpose in the early stages.
16:31And their record when they score first in the premiership is
16:33rather good.
16:35As you can see.
16:37Just the one defeat in their last 53.
16:39Winning all but two of those.
16:42It is not bad, is it?
16:44It is a good habit to have.
16:56Kevin Holt moved in on Tom Lawrence.
16:58At Aboyega.
17:02Babunski away to
17:04Stevenson.
17:06Trapanowski.
17:09It is much better from
17:11Dundee United.
17:13I don't think it is the touch he is trying to make.
17:15He almost gets lucky with it.
17:17Dundee United have to try and get a hold of the ball.
17:19They are sitting.
17:21Jim Goodwin spoke about playing defensively.
17:23The 5-4-1.
17:25They are sitting in a 5-4-1.
17:27They are not going anywhere near Rangers at the minute to put
17:29pressure on them.
17:31The ball comes into the midfield.
17:33They can turn and play forward passes.
17:35They have to offer something going forward.
17:51Cortez looking for Dowell.
17:53Aboyega in the way.
17:55He will get the free kick.
18:06It is a bit wordy.
18:08Ross Graham for Jim Goodwin who has lost all 11 of his league
18:12games against Rangers.
18:14But he did manage a victory over them in a league cup
18:18quarterfinal with St Mirren.
18:20I think in 2020.
18:26Gallagher hoisting that.
18:28Towards Will Ferry.
18:31Hooked away by Graham.
18:33Hooked on by Sibbald.
18:39Lawrence.
18:41Leaves it for Dowell.
18:43Diamande.
18:45Down.
18:47Down.
18:49Down.
18:51Down.
18:53Down.
18:55Down.
18:57Down.
19:00Down.
19:04Down.
19:19Robin Draupau.
19:29Speaking about Rangers and their fast start, their little one-twos, give-and-goes.
19:33Look at that, mostly down the left-hand side with Jeff Dey and Cortes, which is no surprise.
19:40Cavalier trying to change that statistic. Jeff Dey has put in six crosses already.
19:46Yeah, well, Kevin Dowell's playing on this right-hand side, which means he'll probably
19:50want to tuck in and play more centrally. You've got Cortes, who we know is an out-and-out winger,
19:55who wants to go and attack, and Stevenson's really struggling to get the grips.
20:02With the cross, the runner doesn't know where to go to Jeff Dey,
20:06doesn't know where to go to Cortes, and Rangers are exploiting that very well.
20:16One-way traffic in the opening quarter of an hour.
20:21Rangers eager to keep it that way.
20:25Cavalier.
20:43Dowell. Kieran Dowell. Awkward for Walton, but he recovered before Dece's good pounce.
20:52Yeah, it's a good effort from Kieran Dowell. Almost an outstanding ball from James Tavernier,
21:00but Rangers win the ball back very well, and it is moving. A difficult one for Walton,
21:04but he reacts, gathers it.
21:21Shift to the Brazilian.
21:25Lawrence, the goal scorer. Tavernier, the captain.
21:32And that's off Ross Graham, and Rangers will continue their early momentum with a corner.
21:39Yeah, and it's now coming down the right-hand side. We don't need the graphic to tell us it's
21:44coming down the right now. Tavernier getting plenty of the ball, and Rangers look dangerous.
21:49Anytime they go forward, they're really struggling to get grips with the movement
21:54of the front line of Rangers.
22:02Dowell floating it in. Stayed away by Van der Sande.
22:20Chefty will take this throw. Diomande shows for it. Here he is again. Setting up Lawrence.
22:31Diomande. Dece's!
22:38And that will be a free kick for a foul by Lawrence on Holt.
22:43Good play again down this left-hand side. I just wonder if he just misjudged that Dece's.
22:50A yellow card shown here.
22:56Trapanowski had a bit of a sit too.
23:07And yellow cards were shown to both.
23:13So
23:22Van Rotherson quickly stepping in with yellow cards for Trapanowski and Tavernier.
23:43Here is Tavernier.
23:54Dece's did well. Sharp turn. Lawrence ran into Adeboyega though.
24:03Stephenson.
24:08Halted by Chefty.
24:13Come on.
24:30Ross Graham.
24:32Adeboyega, Tonti United.
24:42Quite like to get to grips with this game after a whirlwind start from Rangers.
24:52And they won't be doing it like that.
24:56You know, I mean, Adeboyega had made the run forward. A few groans and the ball goes backwards but
25:03in what we watched in the first 20 minutes, they've barely strung two passes together,
25:08Tonti United. So you don't really mind it, but then that's when you have to take care.
25:12It's a slack pass from Ross Graham straight out of the park, but they have it back now.
25:15Not for long, however. Dece is up against Graham.
25:23In the air from Ferry. Clicked on by Van der Sander.
25:28Trapanowski and Souter sorts him out.
25:37These teams last met on April Fool's Day last year. 17 months on, only two of the 22 players
25:46who started that day remain at their clubs, such as being the high turnover, James Tavernier
25:52and Craig Sybil. Here's Tom Lawrence. He's got Cortez available. He found him eventually,
25:59but Walton equal to it. Yeah, we had to play earlier. Tom Lawrence, as soon as he
26:04played the pass to Cortez, eventually he puts the hand up, play it there.
26:08And it gives Cortez more of an opportunity to either take Adeboyega on.
26:20Dece is unable to bring that under control.
26:24Here's Will Ferry into Van der Sander, but it doesn't stick with him.
26:38Trapanowski.
26:59Takes out Lawrence now.
27:03Trapanowski finds Dece.
27:06I don't think he has to do it either. He's got a chance to run forward.
27:10Diomande.
27:14Barron for Tavernier.
27:18Dal.
27:22Barron.
27:24It's a lovely pass for Lawrence.
27:27Too much traffic on route though.
27:31Tavernier.
27:33Barron takes over.
27:39Dal.
27:41Diomande.
27:45Just out of Barron's reach.
27:47Babunski.
27:51Trapanowski.
27:53Diomande.
27:59Diomande.
28:07Trapanowski.
28:11Diomande.
28:13Ferry.
28:17He's off Dal.
28:19she's off dowel nice past two for Trapanovsky
28:26confronted by Tavernier oh he got his cross in but no takers for Dundee United
28:37Gallagher saw that one coming Adeboyega
28:42allowed to advance Van der Sander Adeboyega
28:47Stevenson had actually got himself into a good position
28:58Dundee United showing some interest now and they'll get a free kick fouled by Lawrence
29:04good play again from Rangers down the right hand side and Dessar's
29:18trying his best to get out of the way with a shot from Tom Lawrence
29:23that was good play Barron Tavernier down the right hand side
29:41Babinski will float this free kick in Kevin Holt with a really good contact and
29:47a flick that away it's retrieved by Trapanovsky it's cleared by Barron
29:57Dundee United showing some signs now yeah and it's a tremendous header really had to be made
30:03from Cyril Dessars Holt with the first one and it's something that Dundee United you look at
30:09their team big aggressive players to go and attack it as an opportunity for them I have to say it's
30:15tremendous defending Cyril Dessars
30:33Will Ferry whipped by Dowell
30:39I feel that Dundee United are starting to settle into the game now
30:42and this is this defensive header from Cyril Dessars Holt does excellent and it'd be easy
30:48for Dessars being a follower to switch off but he doesn't it's a vital intervention
30:56ensuring that Stevenson wasn't about to escape him
31:06Adeboyega's throw
31:08and a stand up Adeboyega
31:15Suter easily able to clear
31:20and again
31:29Dundee United growing into the game
31:32yeah you can see the settling now
31:38if we would pass it's always going to happen
31:46have a reach for Tabernet
32:02Tabernet stepped in front of Randa Sander
32:32Gallagher always winning that ahead of Dessars
32:40Cortez onto this though Lawrence and Dowell have got themselves in the box
32:46Cortez secures the corner off Adeboyega yeah I mean it's a great pass in behind
32:54when Cortez gets in there he has options and the one thing you're probably not looking for him to
32:59do is just smash it off the guy in front of you Dio Mondi had made a late run into the box could
33:04he get his head up and find him I don't even know if he's going for a shot or a cross there but
33:08poor decision from Oscar Cortez it was an unexpected option that he took
33:18captain is over the corner as everyone jostles for position Tavernier sending it in
33:25the cheat here by Frappa
33:34Chepsteak taking no chances with Trapanowski around
33:46Trapanowski
33:54Graham Ferry
34:16Yort van der Sander who scored for the Caribbean island of Bonaire during the international
34:22break he lives there for five years hence became eligible the first
34:28Dundee United player to score an international goal since Lawrence Shankland five years ago
34:35it's not a bad international court that is it Caribbean find that out later in your career
34:42when you ended up with Scotland wouldn't change it for the world
34:52but once key is Van der Sander
35:00so
35:14Babinski Trapanowski
35:20so
35:28don't you know they have a problem and it's with Kevin Holt who uh has played a pivotal role in
35:35midfield for them this season but he appears to have a knock and is about to be replaced by Ross
35:42so
35:54Dundee United certainly improving now yeah you can see that you know they're showing a bit more
36:00composure in the ball they're looking as if they can threaten without actually creating
36:06any chances but they were certainly rattled by the fast start that Rangers made growing into the game
36:16Kevin Holt looks like he's going to make way I wonder if it's tactical you know
36:20Rostock is a natural midfielder and they have been at times overrun in that area
36:28yeah that could be the thinking he does actually look all right
36:30it's a huge a huge loss to the attacking threat from set plays
36:38he pops up chips in with a fair few goals Kevin Holt even defensively as well
36:46he's got a couple of penalties this season as well in the league cup
36:51Will Ferry looking to get onto that but Diamande had the situation under control
36:56this is now for Lawrence this is a down injured and it will be brought back for the free kick
37:26so
37:41Dundee United do make that change with Kevin Holt replaced by
37:45Rostock yeah I think it's tactical I think that you know I know Kevin Holt's been in there and
37:51done really well this season Rostock he has a central midfielder big player for Dundee United
37:59and I just think that Rangers have had they've overrun them in midfield
38:05Cortez
38:08he's overcooked the cross although it didn't actually look that far away from golden there
38:14I don't know if he's caught in two minds of where they go for a little chip to the back post
38:19he almost gets the spot on
38:29Dundee United bench have confirmed that was a tactical substitution as you thought James yeah I mean
38:37I get in certain situations it can work but when you're coming up where
38:40you know you're going to be moved all over the place it's difficult then for Kevin Holt who's
38:45you know most his career play there's a left back left center back to step into that midfield area
38:50with the movement the speed I thought the little one two touch passing it can be very difficult
38:56so when you see that that change being made it's going to be very difficult for him to
39:02very difficult so when you see that that change being made you can only assume that it's tactical
39:11Ross Graham has a long throw in him
39:13Graham looking for targets Trapanowski
39:32Trapanowski's cross is cleared by Jethick
39:36Cortez he's quick when he gets going but he's guarded here by Tocchetti and by Trapanowski
39:45Tavernier's switch doesn't work out
39:48so
40:01when we finish here at Tenerife it is the North London Derby Tottenham
40:06against Arsenal and the later offering is Wolves against Newcastle
40:18Cortez
40:24Boyega stepped in soon saw him off Stevenson
40:33assistant referee just about seeing the funny side of that
40:38I think it's a yellow card for the assistant referee here look just flies and talk all his way through
40:43Ross McLeod getting involved in the action
41:00Boyega looks like he might go shorter this time
41:04Stevenson
41:20either side of summer Rangers have only managed one win in
41:23seven away games their worst run since 2016 under Mark Warburton
41:32they need to uh cure that travel sickness soon yeah they do you have to say a really good start
41:41to this game this afternoon not as you know attacking and as fluent in the last 10 minutes
41:48or so but we spoke about before the game and everybody said how tough a game it was going to
41:54be for them come with the right attitude played some good football as well created some very good
41:59opportunities but there's still a lot of work to be done because Dundee United are creeping back into the game
42:18Dundee United have been better but still haven't managed an attempt on goal
42:23I think they've gone to a back four Dundee United
42:39by the way he's going out to the right back area
42:43and he's going to the left back being that midfield
42:48allowing you know potentially trapping off skate stevenson to get higher up the pitch
42:53and i think they had to make a change because they were getting all wrong the first 10 15 minutes
42:59and change has certainly allowed them to have a bit more of the game
43:18tavernier will take this throw
43:32jetty
43:35cortez
43:39connor baron available zipped in towards dowell
43:48mostly done by tokyo
43:53the ferry takes over tokyo again
44:00so
44:15that's good defending and then from the fd this cortez switches off
44:21getting in behind and it's well defended name from the fd
44:24maybe this will be a long one from a ross graham who
44:31has scored in two of the last three matches winning goals as well
44:38he can't be on the end of his own long throw though but
44:42straight into the arms of butler anyway i'm not sure that's where it was supposed i know
44:48what definitely wasn't to go into jack butler's arms i just mean the area because you'll get
44:53and around that penalty spot trying to hit that more centrally rather than to the near post area
45:00cortez leather control lawrence
45:06and they went between this is and cortez yeah it's a great little reverse pass it just
45:13this as can see cortez making the run and try to be clever and let it go and it almost comes
45:19off but cortez and he's positioning his movement and the attacking sense cousin dundee united a
45:25lot of problems when he was injured not long after arriving last season
45:35cortez and then injured again right at the start of this season but he's clearly a talent
45:43and he sure is and you just need to get him
45:47keep him fit and get him a run of games just to see how good he
45:50he actually can be as you say he's making good runs he's willing to go and run beyond they can take people on
46:02eddie boyega the fan to stand up stephen stern connor baron steps in
46:09uh
46:15jeff
46:18free kick
46:40oh
46:53it's a wayward one from butland who is
46:57to uh apologize and frustrated himself with that one well dundee united are going trying to win
47:05by higher up the pitch steady sitting back and that five four one jim goodwin's made a change
47:11to go to the four four two three one and allowing them to go and press and okay they're not winning
47:15the ball back but they're in good positions to try and force those mistakes from rangers
47:20get the ball a little bit higher up the pitch and try and cause problems of their own
47:24and then the main the shape and and the pressure has been decent but they haven't really been able
47:28to create an opportunity yet what a terrific tackle defensively
47:37connor baron has been cleaned out there and it's gonna be a card here for eddie boyega now
47:58both there is a check for a potential red card yeah i mean i'm not surprised the speed that he
48:08goes in at i don't think that'll be given as a red though because he catches him on the foot
48:14if that's higher above the ankle then that's more than likely going about red card but i think he
48:19just catches him the top of the foot in any case not a great challenge at all from adelaide
48:29oh
48:33the var check is continuing but it's over and the yellow card will stand i think it's a point
48:42of contact and i think that the force and if that's higher then he's in big trouble as is
48:49corner baron because a lot of force behind that but i think the point of contact is in the top
48:54of the foot and that's why they stick with the on-field decision and in the aftermath of that
49:01challenge jack butlin was booked for protesting yellow card for the rangers keeper
49:16there will be two extra minutes added on information of the yellow card for jack
49:21butlin yeah you can understand the frustrations of angels players because it looks like a terrible
49:27but it's not a great challenge as it is but you can see that the speed that he goes in at you
49:32know he's late you know that he's caught corner baron absolute sympathy for jack butlin trying
49:39to look after his teammate you can see adebayo as soon as the referee gets a yellow card he
49:43starts chasing him as if to say give me that yellow card as quick as you can i'll have one of those
49:49two extra minutes
50:00careless there from baboonski of all people has come off the heels of tom lawrence
50:10baboonski for trapanovsky kept occupied by tabernia
50:18sold duckland a little short
50:24dear mandate i'll sort that out he says
50:31just a slip there from here and now but now he's giving a free kick yeah i mean damn i had someone
50:36had to sort out a mess from start to finish start with tom lawrence trying to let it go through his
50:41legs to death which isn't on allowing dundee united that counter and then i think james
50:46tabernia can let that run out for a gold kick he decides to try and play it back to jack butlin
50:50which is short and then it becomes really scrappy but the deal with it then
51:04tabernia away by graham diamante now it's deserts it's blocked by walton and that was a big chance
51:16is to score at a crucial time get your shot away he's on side as well and it's something that he
51:23does quite a lot shoot there i don't know if there's a little nudge in the back that's just
51:27enough to put him off but his first thought should be let that come across my body get my shot away
51:34as early as i can he delays getting allows walton to narrow the angle that's a huge opportunity
51:41corner anyway will be the last action of the half surely in by dowell
51:51and it is half time and it is only one nil although it could have been two through serial
51:55guesses there tom lawrence took it upon himself to score an early goal as rain just made a really
52:02positive start just what was demanded by philip clement and the united did come into the game
52:08without really asking any questions of jack butland and at halftime it's done a nice it's
52:13done the united nil it's rangers one
