Sam Dalby. Celebrated the news that he will stay in Dundee until the end of the season with an early goal - and could have scored at least one more when his header at the post. His physical, abrasive style has come to epitomise the dogged natured of this United side and he has become their talisman.

The home side took the lead through loan striker Sam Dalby in the 19th minute but Rangers midfielder Mohamed Diomande levelled after 37 minutes and defender Robin Propper put his side ahead shortly after half-time with a deflected drive.

Rangers recovered from an early scare to defeat Dundee United in a pulsating, end-to-end clash and pick up their first away win in seven attempts. Philippe Clement's side trail Celtic in the Scottish Premiership by 10 points and their poor away form - drawing their past three in the league - has put pressure on the Belgian manager.

Ianis Hagi, Rabbi Matondo, Clinton Nsiala and Danilo are not part of Rangers' European squad but are available again, albeit the Brazilian striker has been injured. Dujon Sterling, John Souttar (groin) and Neraysho Kasanwirjo (knee), remain out.
