    I think the manager deserves a massive amount of credit. He changed the shape, the mentality, and has ended up with six attacking players on the park. He showed the importance of this game and it has paid dividends

    We're into a massive SEVEN minutes of stoppage time.

    Still time for Dundee to get back into this, but the hosts are looking beaten and exhausted at the moment.

    It's nothing more than Rangers deserve after this second-half performance. They got a bit of fortune with it, but Goldson showed great composure to put it high into the roof of the net

    It's a terrific move, very direct. Great ball through for an overlapping centre-half who is following the ball with determination to get into the box and cause trouble

    Connor Goldson

    What's Connor Goldson doing up there?

    The centre-half started the goalscoring in last week's cup win over Dundee and could have finished it here.

    Goldson follows his own ball out of defence, dummies a James Tavernier cross and, when Kemar Roofe's shot is blocked, is on hand to volley home from 12 yards.

    Relief envelopes the visiting fans.

    Dundee 1-1 Rangers

    Dundee waste plenty of time as midfielder Declan McDaid is replaced with forward Luke McCowan.

    Time is what Rangers are running out of as they look to preserve their title challenge.

    Glen Kamara replaces Aaron Ramsey in Rangers' midfield.

    We've had toilet rolls, tennis balls and now we have sprinklers popping up on the pitch to delay the flow of play!

    You can see the difference in Aaron Ramsay when he plays more central. He was anonymous in the first-half, but now he's been much more influential

  11. McGinn for Ruddenpublished at 71mins

    Dundee 1-1 Rangers

    Zak Rudden made a good impression at the start of the game, but the on-loan Partick Thistle striker is replaced with veteran Niall McGinn as he begins to tire.

  12. Postpublished at 69mins

    Dundee 1-1 Rangers

    Alfredo Morelos looks unfortunate to be pulled up for a foul as he wins a duel at the back post after a cross from Ryan Kent is aimed towards the Rangers striker.

    The visitors continue to pile on the pressure as they look for a winner.

    You could see that coming. Dundee have lost a little of focus from the second phase of play and Ramsay's been left free at the back-post for a tap-in

    That's instinctive. The goalkeeper will always have a problem when the ball comes back across the face of goal. It's been coming

    Aaron Ramsey

    Rangers are back in it - and it is Aaron Ramsey's first goal for the Ibrox side.

    Kemar Roofe has just come on as a substitute and, when he heads a Ryan Kent cross back into the six-yard box, the on-loan Juventus midfielder has the simple task of chesting the ball over the line.

    It had been coming!

    Two fine saves from Ian Lawlor in quick succession.

    The goalkeeper pushes clear a diving header from Aaron Ramsey then parries at the near post from Joe Aribo's low drive.

  17. CLOSE!published at 60mins

    Dundee 1-0 Rangers

    An hour gone and Rangers have their first effort on target.

    Alfredo Morelos meets a James Tavernier chip to the back post, goalkeeper Ian Lawlor slaps the striker's header off the line and Christie Elliot heads clear from in front of goal after the Colombian has a second go.

  18. YELLOW CARD Sands (Rangers)published at 56mins

    Rangers frustration boils over as American midfielder James Sands lunges into Max Anderson, who requires treatment a matter of moments after coming on as a substitute.

    The attitude of Dundee is the difference from last week. Rangers must match that in the second-half
