Latest updates from the huge showdown at Tannadice"},"content":{"rendered":"

The Scottish Premiership <\/a>season returns with a bang as Rangers get a new era under way on Tayside with a tough opener against Dundee United.<\/p>\n

Derek McInnes<\/a> is looking to do what no other Light Blues boss has done since his old Ibrox team-mate Giovanni van Bronckhorst four years ago – win their league opener.<\/p>\n

Jim Goodwin is out to stop him achieving that as the Tangerines look to get off to a flyer themselves after a disappointing bottom six finish last season.<\/p>\n

Dundee United<\/a> have already started competitive action with a Premier Sports Cup<\/a> group stage campaign, where they weren’t entirely convincing.<\/p>\n

McInnes has only had bounce games so far and Rangers are looking for more creativity after lacking a cutting edge up front.<\/p>\n

But the former Hearts boss vowed not to use that as an excuse if he becomes the latest Rangers gaffer to get off to a false start<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dundee United: Walton, Rawlins, Forbes, Esselink, Ferry, Sevelj, Tait, Agyei, Randall, Rose, Sapsford Subs: Amissah, Iovu, Graham, Merghem, Camara, Eskesen, Farrugia, Bennie, Metsoko.<\/p>\n

Rangers: Pandur, Sterling, Fernandez, Godfrey, Rommens, Devlin, Diomande, Aasgaard, Gassama, Shankland, Naderi. Subs: Kelly, McCrorie, Makhanya, Neil, Dragojevic, Chukwuani, Curtis, Chermiti, Miovski.<\/p>\n
