United Manager Alex Smith elected to retain the David McCracken and Jim Lauchlan central defensive partnership for today's match with Rangers at Tannadice Park. Midweek hat-trick hero Stephen O'Donnell also kept his place in Alex Smith's starting eleven.
The Tangerines weathered a strong Rangers start in the 12.30pm kick-off and kept the League leaders at bay with Steven Thompson ploughing a lone furrow up front. The match followed this fashion up until midway through the first half when Amoruso put Rangers ahead with a powerful header.
United then had their best period of the first half and appeared to be heading into the break one nil down however in the forty-fourth minute, Ferguson hit a shot into the roof of the United net two put Rangers two ahead.
The one other goal in the second half came from Arveladze when he pounced onto a Gallacher stop and Rangers ran out three nil winners, their eighth win in succession and their sixth clean sheet in a row.
The attendance of 10,013 was 11% down on the 11,117 who attended the 1-6 Tannadice defeat by Rangers in the live SKY TV match played on Saturday 22nd September last year.
