Rangers
Head to Head


Dundee's history with Rangers stretches back to 1893 with the Glasgow club being our first competitive opponent in a 3-3 draw at West Craigie Park. The sides have also met in the Scottish Cup Final in 1964 and 2003 with the Gers taking the victory on both occasions. The Dark Blues have gotten one over on Rangers by securing the League title back in 1962, finishing just three points ahead of the Glasgow team. Dundee would take Rangers' place in the SPL for the 2012-13 season following the clubs liquidation and having to reapply for a Scottish Football League membership.

Biggest Win (6-1)

Sat, February 5th, 1938

By the time Rangers headed for Dens on Saturday, February 5, 1938, the Dark Blues early season form had slumped to a mid table position If that slump was not worrying enough Dundee had to contend with the fact that eight teams were separated by a few points. Morton were seen as the relegation certainties and it was any one from the other eight to join them.


Highest Scoring Draw (3-3)

Sat, August 12th, 1893

The football season in Dundee has made a most, auspicious opening, and there can be no doubt whether that the inclusion of a local team in the Scottish Football League will give a powerful impetus to the game in the city.


Heaviest Defeat (0-7)
