The Story in 60 Seconds

Rangers manager Derek McInnes stated Dundee's equalising goal felt like a balloon popping after his side drew 2-2 at Dens Park. The result prevented Rangers from taking top spot in the William Hill Premiership. Bradley Fink initially opened the scoring for Dundee before Badredine Bouanani and Nico Raskin gave Rangers the lead. Callum Jones then capitalised on an error by Dan Neil in the 68th minute to secure a point for the hosts.

McInnes expressed frustration that his team failed to capitalise on their dominance, noting that Rangers should have scored more than two goals. The draw brought an end to Rangers' seven-game winning run, leaving them one point behind league leaders Celtic. Dundee manager Steven Pressley praised his squad's resilience against the Ibrox side.
