Rangers were held to a 2-2 draw by Dundee, missing the chance to move top of the Scottish Premiership. Dundee took an early lead when Bradley Fink rounded the goalkeeper and slotted home after Rangers failed to deal with a long ball. Badredine Bouanani quickly responded, curling a shot into the top corner for his first goal for the club to level the score. Nico Raskin then scored what appeared to be the winner with a powerful strike from outside the area that hit the underside of the crossbar and bounced in. However, Callum Jones pounced on a mistake by Rangers captain Dan Neil, dispossessed him, and calmly slotted the ball past the goalkeeper to secure a point for Dundee. Rangers had further chances, including a Kim shot blocked with the goal open and a Neil effort scrambled off the line, but could not find a third goal. The result leaves Rangers second in the table, one point behind Celtic, who have a game in hand. Dundee's press troubled Rangers throughout, with manager Derek McInnes acknowledging his side struggled to break through despite creating opportunities.
The failure to convert a two-goal lead suggests Rangers still lack resilience under pressure despite their attacking quality. Dundee's equaliser, born from Neil's hesitation, shows how quickly momentum can shift in tightly contested fixtures.
