Dundee 1 Rangers 1: Dens men denied victory by VAR as Philippe Clement's side struggle on the road yet again

They dropped points at St Mirren. They dropped points at Motherwell. They threw another two down a manhole in the final minutes against Hibernian at Easter Road. As Philippe Clement’s Rangers suffered another bout of travel sickness against a Dundee team down to the bare bones, you began to wonder when they’ll ever win an away league game again.
On a bitterly cold night at Dens Park, the temperature rose a notch or two at the final whistle when, after a pitiful display, the travelling support reiterated their anger and impatience with the manager’s tenure. More displays like this and the decision will be taken out of the hands of the Rangers board. They’ll have no choice but to act.
Mohamed Diomande rattled a 20-yard strike off the crossbar in the final minutes. Beyond that, this was another lukewarm, tepid, unacceptable performance from a team which now sits 15 points behind arch rivals Celtic. The league is over. A relentless run of midweek fixtures is testing managers everywhere. None more so that Dundee’s Tony Docherty, who went into this game with ten players missing.
It was another disappointing night for Rangers manager Phillipe Clement as his side drew. Oluwaseun Adewumi celebrates with Simon Murray after scoring against Rangers. Acknowledging the blow of losing former PFA Scotland young player of the year nominee Lyall Cameron before kick off, Docherty was forced to name two goalkeepers and just five outfield players on the substitute bench.
