Dundee Football Club prepare for a home clash with Rangers this weekend as three fringe players from the visiting squad are highlighted for a potential chance to impress. The Scottish Premiership match at Dens Park on Saturday comes with Dundee sitting fourth in the table on 13 points from eight games.
Findlay Curtis, Tuur Rommens and Tochi Chukwuani are the three Rangers players deserving of a shot. The analysis suggests manager Derek McInnes could look to freshen his side as they aim to close a two-point gap to leaders Celtic. McInnes stated, "Three players deserve a shot to impress as the Light Blues prepare to face the Dee on Saturday, 17 October."
Player backgrounds
Findlay Curtis is a 20-year-old who recorded six goal contributions in 14 games for Kilmarnock last season but has seen limited minutes this term, playing only across all competitions. Tuur Rommens has recently returned to the bench after a spell on the sidelines. Midfielder Tochi Chukwuani is noted as a player who could provide a significant presence, potentially breaking into a midfield trio currently featuring Nico Raskin, Dan Neil and Ryan Naderi.
Match context
Dundee go into the fixture on a two-match winning run, having beaten Falkirk and Motherwell in their last two outings. Their recent form reads two wins, one draw and two losses from the last five games. Rangers, meanwhile, are looking to build on a 3-1 victory over Kilmarnock, a match where Ryan Naderi scored twice. Following this weekend's match, Rangers' next fixture is a home match against St Johnstone on Saturday, 24 October. The full schedule for the coming weeks is available on our fixtures page.
Derek McInnes's side currently sit second, just two points behind Celtic after eight matches. Dundee, in fourth, are eight points off the top but will be buoyed by their current form. The home side's top scorer this season is Joe Westley with three goals. The Dens Park encounter kicks off on Saturday, 17 October.
