Next up for Dundee on 2 April, Aberdeen are visitors to Dens Park, which is surely the Dark Blues' last chance to drag the third-bottom Pittodrie side into the relegation battle.

After a hectic period of Europa League, Scottish Cup and Premiership business, Rangers can now rest their tired legs (give or take an international match or two) ahead of a crucial Old Firm derby after the international break.

Rangers host leaders Celtic on Sunday 3 April and you would imagine that a victory for Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side will be a must considering their city rivals have gone 31 domestic games without defeat and don't look like dropping points against anyone else.

Dundee manager Mark McGhee tells BBC Scotland he thought it was a matter of time before Rangers' class told as he watched his side from the dugout for the first time after his touchline ban.

"In the last half-hour of the second half, there was an inevitability about conceding, so we can't argue that," he says. "Rangers piled on the pressure in the second-half.

"I was delighted with our first-half performance, the shape, the strategy, the execution of it, the intensity - we scored a great goal. Everything we had done on the training pitch was taken out there and that's really important to me.

"Then, we start to run out of energy and we do not have the same strength and depth that Rangers have to keep piling players on who can keep up that intensity in the level of performance. While they do that, we start to fade away.

"I don't think my lads could have given an ounce more. There is a lot of good to take out of it."

Dundee scorer Christie Elliott thinks his side can take heart in their battle to avoid relegation despite eventually losing to the reigning champions.

"When we got the opportunity to go 1-0 up, we built on that," he tells BBC Scotland. "We had the confidence and the belief we were going to do it, but it just wasn't enough.

"We know they are a top team and we have been working on their strengths all week as well as our own. We have to take the confidence from today into the next period.

"It's all down to us to get the points on the board and get out of this position."

The match was disrupted several times by toilet rolls and tennis balls thrown on to the Dens Park pitch by Rangers fans protesting about their club's decision to play a November friendly against Celtic in November.

Manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst admits on Sky Sports that the action "disrupted" his side's play but adds that he can "understand" the fans' need to express their emotions.

He adds that the condition of the pitch also did not help but that: "We did enough to win in difficult circumstances". The Dutchman also points out that his second-half team changes to bring "more width" had turned the game for his side.

Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst admits it is "a big relief" to have secured the three points at Dens Park.

"It was a tough game," he tells Sky Sports. "We didn't start really well. Second half, we created more chances and sometimes you have to be a little bit lucky and we were in the end when the ball dropped for Connor [Goldson].

"Today could have cost us again two big points, but we kept the belief and worked hard to get the win."

Rangers captain James Tavernier, who missed a first-half penalty, admits his side had to dig deep to secure a win.

"I thought we showed great character," he tells Sky Sports. "We did not play to our level sin the first half and we knew second half we had to put in a really good performance.

"We were more patient on the ball, the substitutes made an impact and I am really pleased to come away with three points."

Relief for Rangers as the final whistle goes and they end the weekend still three points behind leaders Celtic.

They trailed early on as Christie Elliott headed in to give Dundee a deserved early lead, but Rangers dug deep before eventually Aaron Ramsey tapped in and, four minutes from time, Connor Goldson volleyed what proves to the the winning goal.

Dundee are left still four points adrift of St Johnstone at the bottom.

Dundee have a last-gasp chance to launch a long throw into the Rangers penalty box.

But it is headed clear...

Time is running out for Dundee and Connor Goldson's goal looks to have won it for Rangers.
