05/09/2008 - Glasgow, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rangers will attempt to capture its first European title in 36 years on Wednesday when they meet Zenit in the UEFA Cup final, but Walter Smith's men must first take care of their business in the league with a home game against Dundee United on Saturday.
Rangers will be extremely busy in the next few weeks with four league games, a UEFA Cup final, and League Cup final to play in a span of less than three weeks.
With so many games to play and a team that is still facing a number of injury issues, Rangers must concentrate on each game and not get caught looking ahead.
We've not been thinking ahead to other fixtures before games recently and we won't do that this weekend," Smith told the club's website. "Some of our players have had a little bit of strain placed on them with the number of matches they have had to play but that is just the way it is."
Dundee has not won in its last five league games, but the team is only one point behind third-place Motherwell, giving Dundee hope of grabbing a spot in the UEFA Cup. Manager Craig Levein's men have a tough finish to the season, however, as they will play Rangers and then Celtic in their final two games.
A win on Saturday would move Rangers to within one point of Celtic ahead of the Hoops match with Hibernian on Sunday.
Motherwell looks to keep third place with a win against Aberdeen, while Inverness visits Falkirk, Hearts hosts Kilmarnock and Gretna invades St Mirren.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
