2023: Nicky Weaver punches clear from a Rangers corner - how Craig Levein is going to miss him when he leaves in January.2021: If you would like to send a text, the number is 80295.2017: Still no goals in the matches between Brechin and Peterhead, and Stirling Albion and Dumbarton.SCORE UPDATE: Cowdenbeath 1-1 Stenhousemuir****2016: United respond strongly, with Darren Dods causing havoc from a corner, but Rangers clear.2013: How much of a player’s performance is down to confidence A few weeks ago DaMarcus Beasley was wanting away from Ibrox to get a run of games to ensure that he keeps his place in the USA World Cup squad. Now he is a regular in the team and has just curled a left-foot shot into the top corner. He is unrecognisable.
**2012: GOAL: Dundee United 0-1 Rangers (Beasley)**2011: Craig Conway clips in the free-kick and Jon Daly heads directly at Rangers goalkeeper Neil Alexander.2009: A free-kick for United out on the left as DaMarcus Beasley gives away a foul. The big men are up…2008: Er, well Gomis looks a bit flustered now that Kirk Broadfoot has clattered him. Mike Tumilty upsets the home fans by waving play on.2007: United’s Morgaro Gomis is a joy to watch. He is always looking to get on the ball and never looks flustered - a magic wee player.2006: Kris Boyd is looking to close in on Henrik Larsson’s SPL scoring record of 158 goals. Boyd has bagged 153 to date.2005: If this stays goalless, I’ll be astonished.2003: Jon Daly goes down in the Rangers box under a challenge by David Weir but referee Mike Tumilty waves United’s penalty claims away.2002: As the teams weigh one another up, great philosophical questions of our time - is McCulloch left-footed or right-footed Or, whisper it, is he one of those proper footballers who are "two-footed"2000: Rangers’ Lee McCulloch keeps Nicky Weaver on his toes with a right-foot volley from the edge of the box.1957: Danny Cadamarteri is booked for a foul on Lee McCulloch. A bit early to get a yellow card in what is likely to be a “lively” affair.1956: Nicky Weaver makes a great save from DaMarcus Beasley, diving to his right to stop the American’s left-footed snap shot. Kris Boyd was sniffing about the goalkeeper instantly but United clear the danger.1955: About 8,000 or so in the ground, with many Rangers fans boycotting the match. There are around 1,300 fans in blue in the stadium tonight.1954: And Lee McCulloch has come in for Kevin Thomson in the Rangers team, the visitors’ only change from the side that beat St Johnstone on Saturday.1952: So United have recalled midfielders Morgaro Gomis and Prince Buaben after both passed fitness tests and drafted in Danny Cadamarteri up front. Darren Dods replaced Andy Webster, who is unable to face Rangers under the terms of his season-long loan from the Ibrox club.1951: A bright start by the Terrors in tangerine. And you’ll be pleased to learn that the weather is cold but clear - no danger of the match being called off at the interval…surely.**1948: Raith Rovers 1-0 Airdrie United (Javier Corredera 4)**1947: Have a listen to David Begg’s commentary on the action by clicking on the audio link in the top right-hand corner of the page. 1946: We’re off and running at Tannadice.1945: There is a bit of bad feeling surrounding this match. Dundee United cut their ticket prices by half after the original game was abandoned at half-time due to flooding. Rangers, however, are angry that the match isn’t free for those who have ticket stubs from the first game.1943: Have you got your predictions in at the Predictor
