Rangers Coast to Victory against Dundee United
Malik Tillmans Double Earns Ibrox Side Crucial Win
Match Recap: Rangers 2-0 Dundee United
Rangers secured a vital victory at Dens Park on Saturday, defeating Dundee United 2-0 in a Premiership clash that had been postponed twice. Malik Tillmans proved to be the match-winner, scoring both goals for the Ibrox side ahead of their highly anticipated Old Firm derby.
Rangers dominated the game from the outset, controlling possession and creating numerous chances. Tillmans broke the deadlock just before halftime, finding the bottom corner with a clinical strike from outside the penalty area. The German winger doubled his tally in the second half, converting a penalty after Dundee United's Ross Graham had been adjudged to have handled the ball.
The win gives Rangers a much-needed boost as they aim to delay Celtic's confirmation as Scottish Premiership champions. The Hoops currently lead the standings by nine points but have two games in hand. Rangers' victory ensures that the title race will remain open for at least another week.
For Dundee United, the defeat was a blow to their top-six hopes. The Tangerines remain in eighth place in the standings, six points adrift of sixth-placed Livingston.
Rangers will now turn their attention to their upcoming Old Firm derby against Celtic at Ibrox Stadium on April 2. Dundee United, meanwhile, will host Hibernian at Tannadice on the same day.
