Rangers faced a missed opportunity to ascend to the top of the William Hill Premiership after a gripping 2-2 draw against Dundee at Dens Park.

The match opened with Dundee taking the lead in the 38th minute through Bradley Fink, who capitalized on a defensive error. Just three minutes later, Badredine Bouanani, making an impressive return, equalized with a stunning strike, marking his first goal for Rangers.

In the second half, Dundee surged ahead again with Nico Raskin scoring a long-range effort in the 60th minute. However, Callum Jones leveled the score in the 68th minute, taking advantage of a lapse in the Rangers defense. Despite the draw, Dundee earned a well-deserved point, leaving Rangers one point behind leaders Celtic, who could extend their lead with a match against Hearts on Sunday.

Derek McInnes made one change to the lineup, introducing Bouanani for his second start, while Steven Pressley retained his unchanged side.

Key moments included:

• Ivor Pandur saving multiple efforts from Dundee players, including a crucial header from Ash Hay hitting the woodwork.
• Rangers' Kim Min-Su and Djeidi Gassama both coming close to scoring in the second half.
• A late chance for a winner was thwarted when Findlay Curtis saw his effort cleared by Owen Bevan.

The match showcased fierce competition, with both teams creating opportunities and fighting for every point.
