Rangers held to 2-2 draw at Dundee, miss chance to go top

Rangers were held to a 2-2 draw by Dundee at Dens Park on Saturday, missing the chance to move above Celtic in the Scottish Premiership. The result left Rangers one point behind the leaders, who were due to host Hearts on Sunday, October 18. The draw also ended Rangers’ seven-game winning run, according to match reports. Dundee took the lead in the 38th minute when Bradley Fink scored after intercepting a weak pass from Rangers defender Dujon Sterling and rounding goalkeeper Ivor Pandur. Badredine Bouanani equalised three minutes later, curling a shot into the top corner for his first Rangers goal. Nico Raskin put Rangers ahead around the hour mark with a long-range strike. Dundee levelled in the 68th minute after Callum Jones dispossessed Rangers captain Dan Neil and scored past Pandur. Rangers created further opportunities but could not find a late winner. The result leaves Rangers short of the top spot before Celtic’s match against Hearts. A Celtic victory would extend the leaders’ advantage; the outcome of that match was not yet known on Sunday morning. Pandur said Rangers had created enough chances to score more and urged the squad not to single out Neil for the mistake....
