United were sent crashing to their fourth straight defeat in an emphatic 6-1 defeat by Rangers at Tannadice this evening.
A second-minute own goal by Jamie Buchan was cancelled out by Jim McIntyre's 34th minute strike and the first remainder of the first forty-five minutes were evenly contested.
In the second half the United defence, with ex-Dons Jamie Buchan and Stephen Wright in for suspended duo Jim Lauchlan and Jamie McCunnie, simply could not stem the tide and with five second-half goals without reply Rangers ran out very convincing winners.
