Rangers have won all four meetings with Dundee since the start of 2019 without conceding, including a 3-0 victory at Dens Park just last Sunday. Dundee have only beaten the Gers twice in 21 years.

Rangers continue their European tour and it is showing no signs of slowing down just yet.
On Thursday night, having won the first leg 3-0 at Ibrox, Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side travelled to Belgrade looking to finish the job.
The Serbian champions threw everything they had at Rangers and the away side were certainly reliant on Allan McGregor to maintain their advantage.
Then came the decisive moment when, just after half time, Ryan Kent broke forward and his deflected shot restored parity on the night.
Red Star Belgrade did retake the lead with a stoppage time penalty, but the Gers relatively comfortably got through 4-2 on aggregate.
The Light Blue have now reached a European quarter-final for the first time since getting all the way to the UEFA Cup Final 14 years ago.
On Friday afternoon, they were drawn against Braga, a side they dumped out of the Europa League just three years ago.
So, expectations are certainly growing that Gers fans could be converging on Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán for the final on 18 May.
Domestically, the reigning champions of Scotland still have so much to play for too.
They start the weekend three points behind Celtic and through to the Scottish Cup semi-finals having won at Dundee seven days ago.
The Old Firm meet in the Premiership at Ibrox on 3 April before going head-to-head again at Hampden in the cup a fortnight later.
After a gruelling but successful trip to Eastern Europe in midweek, will Rangers return to domestic football with a victory in Tayside?
Dundee meanwhile were dumped out the cup by Rangers last Sunday but certainly have bigger fish to fry.
The Dee are currently rock bottom of the Premiership table, one point behind St Johnstone and nine adrift guaranteed safety.
Under Mark McGhee, the Dark Blues have taken just two points from five games so pipping the Saints to the relegation play-off spot is surely their only route to survival.
Rangers should stroll to another win at Dens Park.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst will surely have to rotate in certain areas after an energy-sapping night in Serbia.
Aaron Ramsey has started just two games since landing in Scotland, both in the Scottish Cup, including at Dens Park a week ago.
The man on loan from Juventus could make his full-Premiership debut in this one.
Filip Helander will surely return in defence as he’s not in the UEFA squad.
