Rangers look to join rivals Celtic in the last four of the Scottish cup with a win over Dundee United this afternoon, live on BBC One Scotland from 12.05pm.
The visitors have found a return to form of late, winning their last two in admirable fashion, but the Tangerines will be without on loan captain Andy Webster who is blocked from competing against his Ibrox employers. Webster has been in superb form this season, earning a recall to the Scotland squad, and the fact that manager Peter Houston named the on loan player as his captain speaks volumes.
The Scottish central defender should leave gaps at the back and hit-man Kris Boyd will look to capitalise after bagging five when the sides last met in Govan.
Madjid Bougherra looks set to return from injury and should replace teenage defender Danny Wilson as Walter Smith attempts to continue his impressive cup run, reaching every domestic final since his return. The home side have already beaten United both home and away this term and their 4/11 (Stan James) can be trusted.
Boyd was in breathtaking form when the Arabs last came calling, contributing to a 7-1 home win, and his 5/6 price tag (Bluesquare) to net again looks generous whilst in-form right back Steven Whittaker getting on the scoresheet again merits an interest bet at 9/2 (Skybet).
