Troubled Rangers claim a crucial victory at Dundee United thanks to Tom Lawrence's early goal

Tom Lawrence scored an early goal that made the difference as Rangers earned a 1-0 victory over Dundee United at Tannadice.

Rangers were looking to bounce back from a heavy 3-0 defeat against Celtic before the international break, and Lawrence's goal in the seventh minute got them off to a good start. Despite having chances to add to their lead, Rangers struggled to maintain control of the game as Dundee United failed to find an equalizer, suffering their first defeat of the season.

The win for Rangers comes at a difficult time for the club, with chairman John Bennett resigning due to health issues and several key positions still vacant.

The victory lifted Rangers above United into third place in the league, offering a glimmer of positivity amid the challenges facing the club.

Rangers' fans were apprehensive ahead of the match, but the return of some key players and new signings provided a boost for the team.

Despite United's confidence coming into the game, it was Rangers who dominated early on, with Lawrence's goal setting the tone for the match.

United tried to rally in the second half, but Rangers held firm to secure the win and the vital three points.
