Rangers drew 2-2 with Dundee and stayed second in the Scottish Premiership, one point behind Celtic.

Rangers drew 2-2 with Dundee at Dens Park and missed the opportunity to go top of the Scottish Premiership. Dundee took the lead in the 38th minute when Bradley Fink capitalised after Rangers failed to deal with a long ball. Badredine Bouanani equalised three minutes later with a stunning curled finish, his first Rangers goal after coming on loan from Stuttgart.

Rangers took the lead after the interval when Nico Raskin scored from outside the area, his shot going in off the underside of the crossbar. However, Callum Jones equalised for Dundee in the 68th minute after catching Rangers captain Dan Neil on the ball.

Rangers remain second in the William Hill Premiership, one point behind leaders Celtic. Celtic host Hearts on Sunday and can increase their lead. Derek McInnes made one change to Rangers' starting eleven, bringing in 21-year-old Algerian international Bouanani for his second start, with Kevin Kelsy on the bench.
