Rangers miss chance to go top as Jones earns Dundee a point

Callum Jones scored a second-half equaliser as Rangers were held to a 2-2 draw by Dundee and missed the chance to go top of the Scottish Premiership.

Dundee opened the scoring when Rangers failed to deal with a routine long ball, with Bradley Fink capitalising to round the goalkeeper and slide home.

The lead did not last long, though, as Badredine Bouanani cut inside and curled in a stunning equaliser to open his account for Rangers.

Nico Raskin scored the goal of the game when his shot from outside the area went in off the underside of the crossbar.

Nicolas Raskin produces an outrageous strike to put Rangers back in front against Dundee.

But Jones then caught Dan Neil dwelling on the ball and nicked it off the Rangers captain to slot home the Dundee equaliser.

Rangers remain second and move one point behind Celtic, who host Hearts live on Sky Sports on Sunday from 2.30pm.

Sky Sports’ Kris Boyd:

“Dundee are a good team. They’re not there [in the table] by fluke or luck.

“They’ve got a style of play, Steven Pressley has got a group of players willing to run themselves into the ground for him and that’s hard to get.

“They put in a shift and even when they’re asked to dig in and suffer like they did for the first 20/25 minutes of that second half.

“They then got a second wind and came back at Rangers and asked questions of them.

“A draw was a fair result. It took wonder strikes to get Rangers two goals.

“There was a lack of creativity at the top end of the pitch and it’s something they’re going to have to improve.”
