    Nobody has time in the middle of the park, the ball is coming bobbing and bouncing. There's no one touch football, the second touch is required

    Rangers have had 73% possession, but they haven't forced returning goalkeeper Ian Lawlor into a save yet.

    Dundee 1-0 Rangers

    Only a desperate lunge from Filip Helander prevents a dangerous Paul McMullan cross reaching the visiting six-yard box as Dundee win a couple of 50-50 challenges.

    Not going well for the reigning champions here.

    Ryan Kent is finding it really difficult to get into the game. This pitch isn't ideal for players who want to dribble

    Tavernier doesn't seem to be involved in the play that much. We are so used to seeing him crossing a lot of balls into the box and he's only had one so far. Everything seems to be going down the left-hand side

    Rangers are struggling to cope with the bumpy, rutted surface as much as their determined hosts.

    The first half will last way longer than 45 minutes after the game was delayed by toilet rolls then tennis balls thrown on to the pitch by away fans.

    It's not going well for Aaron Ramsey in his first Rangers league start.

    Having been slack at Dundee's goal, the Wales midfielder has a fresh air swing at a shot after being found by James Tavernier's low ball into the home penalty box.

  9. Nervous Rangerspublished at 25mins

    Rangers are looking nervous at the back as Connor Goldson makes a mess of a pass to central defensive partner Filip Helander to concede a thrown in.

    Dundee 1-0 Rangers

    Connor Goldson opened the scoring at Dens Park last weekend and the Rangers centre-half is close to another.

    Dundee struggle to clear a free-kick into their penalty box and the Englishman's shot on the turn from 15 yards flashes just wide.

    The Dundee fans can sense a completely different attitude from their side. They're tackling, competing, which was something they lacked last week

    So close to an equaliser.

    Calvin Bassey is given time to swing in a cross from the left-back position and striker Alfredo Morelos will be disappointed to send his header just wide from 10 yards under pressure from his marker.

    Dundee threaten again and goalkeeper Allan McGregor has to race to the edge of his penalty box to boot clear after a Zak Rudden through ball nearly finds the toe of strike partner Paul McMullan.

    You're right to protest as long as it's done in a safe and appropriate manner, but they're distrupting the flow of the game and affecting their own team

    Rangers are under real pressure here as they concede a corner that is followed by yet another delay as the protest from the visiting fans continues with a stream of tennis balls being thrown on to the pitch.

    The action of their fans seems to have done more to disrupt the rhythm of their team than anything.

    Dundee 1-0 Rangers

    Jordan Marshall is causing Rangers real problems and the wing-back flashes another cross across the face of the visiting six-yard box.

    This time, there is no team-mate on hand to deliver what would have been an amazing killer touch.

    Rangers have got to stop the cross, but it's a terrific goal from a Dundee point of view and it gives them something to hold on to. It's really sloppy from Rangers

    Nobody is attacking the ball, two, three defenders just watching the ball in the wider areas. Christie Elliott just ghosts in with the simplest of tap-ins

    Christie Elliott

    What a start!

    Well, Aaron Ramsey already makes an impact - but not the one the Welsman wants.

    The Rangers midfielder fails to prevent Jordan Marshall firing in a cross to the back post that his headed in from a couple of feet by wing-back Christie Elliott.

    Shock to the Rangers system!
