Stephenson eager to spoil Rangers party

Midfielder Luca Stephenson wants Dundee United to "ruin" Rangers' title race excitement at Ibrox on Sunday. Rangers will go top of the league with a win before current Hearts play the following day. United, who stunned Celtic 2-0 at Tannadice before the international break, haven't won at Ibrox since 12 but have drawn with Rangers home and away this season.

"They've got their own ambitions going for the title and we know the pressure is going to be on them," Stephenson said. "They can't afford to drop any points but we want to go there and ruin that atmosphere and ruin that excitement. "We dampened Celtic's chances last time out and we'll try to do the same to Rangers.

"They have improved as the season's gone on, we know that. But it's roughly the same group of players that we've gone toe to toe with twice and I think if we're brutally honest we should have won both games. "We know how much the past couple of results against Celtic meant to the fans and the club.

I think it's been a while since we've won at Ibrox as well - we want to be the ones to do that. "We got so close back at the start of the season and we'll be really, really fired up this weekend. " Even a United victory at Ibrox will not be enough to take their top-six bid to the final game if Falkirk avoid defeat at Motherwell on Saturday.
