Rangers have cut the gap back on rivals Celtic to six points with a comfortable victory against a flailing Dundee United.
Michael Beale's side started strongly with James Tavernier and Alfredo Morelos going close in the opening stages before Malik Tillman's claims for a penalty were duly dismissed after Todd Cantwell forced a save from the United keeper. The two linked up again as the ex-Norwich City man laid it off to the Bayern Munich loanee who fired in to the bottom to open the scoring. Ryan Kent then smashed the underside of the bar with a rocket of an effort to end the half.
In the second period, Tillman was the man again for Rangers when he latched on to a Tavernier pass and took his time to slide the ball under Mark Birighitti. The Light Blues played the game out with little threat from Jim Goodwin's side as they remained unbeaten in league action under Beale before a do-or-die derby next week.
