dailyrecord.co.uk:

It's back to league action for Rangers today as they look to shake off the Premier Sports Cup pain and eat into Celtic's lead at the top.But Dundee won't give them anything for free as Tony Docherty has his eyes on the top six – and continuing the recovery that Hearts stunted last weekend.It's an intriguing battle between two teams who suffered early in the season but have shown real signs of pulling things together in recent weeks.

Going down to Celtic on penalties was tough to take for Rangers but they showed in that game that they can at least compete with the league leaders and will believe they aren't as far behind them as the 11-point chasm in the league suggests.

Trimming that down to eight is the goal here, with the Hoops not in action until tomorrow.As for Dundee, they'd taken seven points from three games, scoring eight in the process before Hearts sunk them at Tynecastle last Sunday.

But a win at Ibrox can take them back into the top six here and they might just fancy their chances against an improving, but still vulnerable, Rangers team.Rangers: Butland, Tavernier (c), Sterling, Propper, Jefte, Raskin, Diomande, Hagi, Cerny, Igamane, Danilo.
