Bougherra confident of maintaining Ibrox record Madjid Bougherra is confident Rangers can continue their impressive home record as he has complete faith in his team-mates. Dundee United visit Ibrox on Saturday looking to become the first Scottish team to beat Rangers there since Inverness in March 2009. Rangers went unbeaten at home in domestic competition last season for the first time since 1992-93, when Walter Smith's men extended the undefeated spell into Europe as they came within 90 minutes of getting to the Champions League final. With Smith being unable to buy a player for two years until last month when James Beattie and Nikica Jelavic joined the squad, the Rangers team is almost full of players who have won consecutive Clydesdale Bank Premier League titles. And that winning mentality allows Bougherra to go into every match at Ibrox with genuine confidence. The Algeria defender said: "We have many players from last year so we have the experience. We know what we need to do. "I`m very confident every time we play because I know the man I have in front of me or next to me is a good player and has won the title. "I`m very confident every time I play. If we give everything, we will win everything. "All the players feel very comfortable at Ibrox, it`s a good atmosphere, a fantastic pitch. We are looking to keep this record." The Glasgow giants welcome back Jelavic to face Dundee United after he was ineligible to play a part in the midweek Champions League draw against Manchester United. Vladimir Weiss, who was an unused substitute at Old Trafford, is likely to be involved as Walter Smith freshens up his team for the clash at Ibrox. Rangers have secured 2-1 victories over St Johnstone and Kilmarnock at Ibrox this season but Bougherra feels the visit of the Scottish Cup winners is their first real test at home. However, Bougherra has happy memories of playing United at Ibrox after scoring the club's goal of the season against the Tayside club. Bougherra ran from deep inside his own half, beating several United players, before finishing from the edge of the box as Rangers thrashed the visitors 7-1 in December. "I don`t score many goals like this," Bougherra told Blues News. "Usually I give the ball wide but I went through the middle and saw a space and just kept going. "I got a trophy from the fans which is in my home and the video is on my computer so I can show my kids. "I hope we win but I don`t know if I can score another goal like that one." United have doubts over midfield trio Craig Conway, Morgaro Gomis and David Robertson ahead of the encounter Conway, Gomis and Robertson picked up knocks in last week's 3-1 defeat of Aberdeen and may not make the trip. Danny Swanson (hamstring) remains the only definite absentee for Peter Houston's side. Houston has warned his side that Rangers will be on the attack and seeking a fifth win from five league games after a week in which they were commended for their resolute defensive display at Old Trafford. Houston expects Smith's side to adopt an altogether different approach, while he also hopes his United side can cause the hosts problems. He told Press Association Sport: "We know that we're in for a difficult task, but rather than fear it it's one that we look forward to." He added: "They'll come at us. It will be a totally different game. "They'll have full-backs going forward all the time, they'll get midfield players going into the box, they'll probably play with two strikers. "If you look at the players that didn't start (at Old Trafford) - (Nikica) Jelavic, (James) Beattie, (Kyle) Lafferty, Vladimir Weiss - they might freshen it up a wee bit. "They won't sit back, they'll be looking to attack us and that's when our organisational skills are going to work." However, rather than adopt a defensive wall like Rangers did at Old Trafford, Houston plans to urge his side to push forward. "It's a case for believing in the players that I've got - and I do," he continued. "We'll certainly try our best to play open football when we have it, but when we've not got it we'll make sure we're behind the ball and make it difficult for Rangers." Dundee United recorded a 3-1 win at home to Aberdeen last week courtesy of three goals in the opening 10 minutes and morale is good ahead of the trip to Glasgow. "The confidence was high, the fact that we got that win," said Houston. "If we get a start like we did last week on Saturday I'll be more than happy."
