Smith says he doesn't want to overload the players with information. Adds that Mohamed Diomande will miss tomorrow's game.

Joe Rothwell and Thelo Aasgaard warming up in a more advanced role than Nico Raskin. Could we see them as twin no.8’s this afternoon with the Belgian holding?

Rangers fans unveil protest banner at Ibrox

Rangers are ahead and it’s a beauty from Thelo Aasgaard! He dances through a couple of players before unleashing one into the top corner. The Norwegian has started really positively with plenty of space to operate in.

Rangers have been living dangerously this side of half time and are punished by a Dundee United equaliser. Kristijan Trapanovski, only on the park a matter of moments, takes on an effort from range that beats Butland low to his right.

Chermiti comes on for Gassama as Steven Smith looks to have changed to a 4-4-2. Aasgaard takes up the LW position.

Rangers are behind at Ibrox as Dundee United lead 2-1. Zach Sapsford is through 1v1 and sees his effort saved by Butland. The ball falls to Craig Sibbald who finds the top corner from distance.

There’s life in this game yet, James Tavernier curls in from the edge of the area to level the score!

Steven Smith says that Rangers didn't change with the game. Admits you'd rather have a terrible 90 minutes and win the game than a good opening 45 and not come away with three points.

Honest and raw answers from Jack Butland after yesterday’s draw⬇️

Kevin Muscat will not be joining Rangers as their new head coach following discussions with the Ibrox hierarchy. Talks reached an advanced stage but the deal will not be completed. Rangers aim to make an appointment in the coming days.

Yet another unbelievable turn of events in the Rangers managerial hunt. Now all the top candidates appear to have ruled themselves out, who do the club turn to now?

Danny Rohl is back in contention to become the Rangers head coach. Talks with Kevin Muscat came to an end without a deal being agreed on Sunday. ⤵️ Chris Jack
