Rangers’ seven-match winning run was interrupted by a 2-2 draw with Dundee after Dan Neil’s error gifted the equaliser. Nico Raskin’s stunning goal for the visitors was ultimately in vain.

Rangers have failed to return to the Scottish Premiership summit after stumbling to a 2-2 draw with Dundee at Dens Park. The visitors had travelled on the back of seven straight wins, entering the match with high positive energy.
Dundee opened the scoring in the 37th minute before Badredine Bouanani equalised for Rangers. The momentum shifted in the second half as Nico Raskin scored a 'wonder-goal' from 25 yards to put the visitors ahead, a performance McInnes described as an 'unbelievable goal'.
Rangers’ lead was undone by a defensive lapse. Rangers skipper Dan Neil gave the ball away under pressure from Callum Jones, who capitalised on the mistake to slot home the equaliser for Dundee with about 20 minutes remaining.
Manager Derek McInnes said the error felt 'like a balloon popping'. The result means Celtic have the chance to move four points clear at the top of the table if they beat Hearts in their re-run of the title decider.
