The delivery into the box is fantastic and there is panic in the Rangers defence. They don't react at all and O'Hara is the first to it. He finishes it well on the half-volley, but Rangers will be disappointed with how they defended their box. They haven't played with the same intensity in this half.

It was a really awkward challenge with Paul McGowan. They both came together and it was as if McCrorie's knee buckled under him. But I don't think there was any malice in it from McGowan.

A dreadful passback by Declan John is pounced upon by Sofien Moussa.
Moussa almost goes down when challenged outside the box by goalkeeper Wes Foderingham but gets back to his feet to keep the ball in play but Dundee cannot make the most of their unexpected possession.

Rangers had loads of chances against Hamilton last week as well and they didn't take them. If Dundee can get one, it could be another Hamilton situation for Rangers. But if they do take one, they will probably go on to win the game comfortably.

Daniel Candeias had the first half's best chance, can either side find the net in the second?

Rangers are controlling the match but they do need to put one of these chances away. They have not been clinical enough. They will be disappointed they have not come in at half-time one or two goals up. Dundee's final ball has been absolutely dreadful. They smack of a team suffering from a lack of confidence. There is no conviction in anything they are doing.

HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:34 Greenwich Mean Time 24 November 2017
Dundee 0-0 Rangers
Rangers will be most disappointed with the scoreline after several clear-cut chances in that first half.
Both teams have lost their main striker and it will be interesting to see how they adapt in the second period.

Rangers have certainly had the better of the first half but without a goal, they leave themselves open to the scenario they faced in recent defeats by Hamilton Academical and Motherwell, who both won 2-0 with second-half goals.

Another marauding run by Declan John leads to a one-two with Alfredo Morelos but the full-back cannot get enough purchase on his shot and it's an easy save for Elliot Parish.
