    Sportscene starts at 19:15 on BBC Scotland if you want to check out the highlights from Ibrox. We'll chuck the programme up online too.

    I'm going to call it a day now and rest up for a busy midweek of Scottish Premiership action.

    Thanks for your company this afternoon and enjoy what's left of your Sunday.

    FT: Rangers 2-0 Dundee United

    Will Dundee United be more adventurous at home to Celtic on Wednesday?

    The game plan today was all about sitting deep and frustrating Rangers. After James Tavernier tucked in his 55th minute penalty, there was no plan B.

    United, who stay fourth - one point clear of Motherwell, end the season away to Ross County next weekend.

    FT: Rangers 2-0 Dundee United

    Rangers will be at home to Ross County on Wednesday and that will probably mean more game time for some of the club's fringe players.

    Leon King strolled through his first start today, while fellow teenagers Alex Lowry, Charlie McCann and Adam Devine got a taste of the action in the second half.

  4. FULL-TIME Rangers 2-0 Dundee Unitedpublished at 16:50 British Summer Time 8 May 2022

    A routine win for Rangers keeps the title race going until Wednesday at least.

    Celtic are now six points in front with two games remaining.

    If the leaders take anything from Dundee United in midweek, the Scottish Premiership crown is theirs.

    Into stoppage time. We're pretty much at walking pace now.

    Rangers 2-0 Dundee United

    Rangers are knocking it around under little pressure. Both teams are just waiting for the final whistle it would seem.

  7. Kamara on for Ramseypublished at 16:36 British Summer Time 8 May 2022

    Rangers 2-0 Dundee United

    Aaron Ramsey has got 78 minutes under his belt as he comes back from a minor injury. Glen Kamara, who was terrific in the midweek win over RB Leipzig, is on to help see the game out for Rangers.

    Amad Diallo

    Fashion Sakala drives through the middle then lays the ball off for Amad Diallo to clip a first-time shot over the advancing Benjamin Siegrist.

    A lovely finish from the substitute who has livened things up since coming on at the interval.

    Rangers 1-0 Dundee United

    Rangers keeper Jon McLaughlin is the calmest person in the stadium as he stops a fizzing pass-back from Connor Goldson just a foot in front of the goal-line. A nice first touch from McLaughlin, who has had virtually nothing to do all day.

  10. Double change for Unitedpublished at 16:28 British Summer Time 8 May 2022

    Rangers 1-0 Dundee United

    Dundee United withdraw Tony Watt and Ross Graham.

    On come Ilmari Niskanen and Scott McMann.

  11. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 16:25 British Summer Time 8 May 2022

    Rangers 1-0 Dundee United

    Amad Diallo tucks the ball calmly into the corner but he seemed to know he was offside before converting.

    Rangers 1-0 Dundee United

    For the second time today, Tony Watt goes for a dramatic tumble - and for the second time referee Steven McLean simply ignores the Dundee United striker.

  13. Triple change for Rangerspublished at 16:22 British Summer Time 8 May 2022

    Rangers 1-0 Dundee United

    Young guns Alex Lowry, Charlie McCann and Adam Devine are on for Rangers. It's a debut for Devine.

    James Tavernier, Borna Barisic, and Scott Arfield are off for a rest.

    Rangers 1-0 Dundee United

    It was 1-0 thanks to a James Tavernier penalty the last time United were at Ibrox. Are we heading for the same scoreline?

    Amad Diallo doesn't seem too troubled by that nasty tackle as he leads another Rangers attack, working the ball out to Fashion Sakala, who sees his shot deflected wide.

    Diallo has another drive forward moments later, fizzing an angled shot wide by a couple of metres.

  16. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:15 British Summer Time 8 May 2022

    Rangers 1-0 Dundee United

    Ross Graham with a clumsy, late challenge on Amad Diallo after the Dundee United defender had run the ball out of play.

    I'm not sure why he's arguing with referee Steven McLean. He's lucky it's only a yellow.

    Liam Smith tries to respond for the visitors but his curling shot sails high over the target.

    United goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist has to stretch to push away an angled shot from Fashion Sakala and the loose ball loops to high for Amad Diallo to gather.
