Jack Walton: Rangers Face “Pressure” in Saturday’s Ibrox Fixture

Dundee United’s goalkeeper, Jack Walton, has declared that “the pressure is on” Rangers for their upcoming match at Ibrox on Saturday. United, currently in fourth place, recognize that a win would bring them level on points with Philippe Clement’s team, who are presently nine points adrift of league leaders Celtic and Aberdeen. Walton stated, “At home a club like Rangers expect to win every game, so we have a gameplan the gaffer has put out and we have worked hard on it this week.” He continued, “We are going to go there to try and get a positive result. They are one of the best teams in the league, but if we show our qualities we can get results against the best. So it is a good challenge for us and we raring to go there and get a good result.” United, having recently been promoted, have experienced only one loss in their six Premiership away fixtures to date, which was a 1-0 defeat against Aberdeen. However, they have been defeated in their previous nine league encounters at Ibrox. Walton further remarked, “We know it is a difficult venue.” He recalled, “We played them here [1-0 defeat at Tannadice] a couple of months ago, it was a very close game, there wasn’t much between us so there is nothing to say we can’t go there and have a close game again.”
