This will be Derek McInnes' first competitive game as Rangers boss. The last manager to lose their first top-flight league match in charge of the club was Graeme Murty in February 2017 (2-1 v Dundee), with 11 Rangers bosses avoiding defeat in their debut since (W8 D3). McInnes has only lost one of his past 15 Scottish Premiership games against Dundee United (W8 D6), a 4-0 defeat with Kilmarnock in November 2022.
Crystal Palace goalkeeper Owen Goodman has joined Dundee on a season-long loan on his return from the World Cup with Canada. Jon McCracken, last season's first choice, left Dundee for Bradford City this summer and Goodman has been brought in to challenge Kieran O'Hara for the number one jersey.
Tottenham have confirmed that full-back Andy Robertson will wear number three during his time at the club. This is common for left-backs but it is not the Scotland international's go-to number; at his past three clubs (Liverpool, Hull City and Dundee United), Robertson opted to wear number 26.
Manager Steven Pressley was "happy with the exercise" despite Dundee losing 4-0 at home to Everton in Saturday's friendly at Dens Park. Pressley's Scottish Premiership side trailed 1-0 at the break and lost three more goals to the Premier League outfit in the second period. "It was very important and we got some really good minutes into the likes of Zan Besir," Pressley told club media.
