Rangers stand on the verge of making history this season, with a place in the Europa League final confirmed on Thursday and a Scottish Cup final to anticipate also.

Thoughts turned swiftly to the Premiership campaign following Thursday night's special win in Europe, and while not yet mathematically confirmed, it seems inevitable that the Gers' Glasgow arch-rivals will be holding the league trophy aloft come the end of the season.

Dundee United travel to Ibrox on Sunday to face the Light Blues, and given the current state of affairs in the league, the home side could afford to rest a few bodies ahead of a monumental couple of weeks for the club.

Boost for Van Bronckhorst

Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Rangers have nonetheless received a boost, with Tangerines manager Tam Courts revealing that Marc McNulty will miss the rest of the season due to suffering an injury in his team's win over Motherwell last weekend.

The 40-year-old said of the striker: "We have just got the scan results back so I don't know the full extent but I know enough to suggest that his season is over."

With Dundee United chasing a European place, this is a massive blow for them, whilst boosting the Gers' hopes of victory tomorrow.

While McNulty's scoring rate this season hasn’t been prolific, he had netted twice in his previous eight matches before injury struck.

He missed the middle chunk of the campaign due to a hamstring injury and has played his last game for the Tangerines before he returns to parent club Reading at the end of the season.

Rangers will still face a Dundee United side who are looking to earn a spot in Europe next season, but without McNulty as a focal point, it could be a slightly easier day for the likes of Connor Goldson and Leon Balogun at the back for the Gers, which will leave Van Bronckhorst buzzing.
