Rangers vs Dundee Utd – LIVE reaction

A sore one for Rangers, that.

But an excellent result for an impressively resolute Dundee United team.

A Vaclav Cerny rescue couldn't halt the rising tide of fan fury - here are our three talking points from a big day at Ibrox.

Finished finally at Ibrox, and it;s more droppped points for Rangers.

The pressure will only oncrease on Philippe Clement, and Celtic can now increase their lead at the to of the tablle.

United will be satisfied enough after a long old day even getting to Ibrox.

Walton again keeps it level.

Igamane takes a touch and thumps it towards goal.

There's plenty of power, but it's close enough to the United keeper and he beats it away.

Igamane then sends a looping effort skywards and irt drops on top of the net rather than in it.

As if this wasn't late enough, EIGHT minutes added on.

How has that not gone in?

Hagi's shot from distance is saved by Walton, but Danilo is first to the rebound.

He squares for Igamane, with propper also trying to turn it home, but it's the striker who gets there first.

However, Walton reacts brilliantly from the deck to throw up a hand and deny a certain winner for the hosts.

A VAr check for a possible penalty is announced, but it;s over before anyone can get excited.

It could be a big one.

Richard Taylor has the Buddies back in ront late on.

Rangers respoond with a change of their own.

Nedim Bajrami is off, Hamza Igamane gets a chance to impress.

Another for United.

Goalscorer Sam Dalby is replaced by Richard Odada.

Anther Danilo and cerny combo results in the ball going in.

Cerny dinks it over Walton from a tight angle, but the flag is up.

It's swiftly checked by VAR and the onfield decision rightly stands.

Another for United.

Kai Fotheringham off, Miller Thomson on.

Danilo and Cerny combining to good effect now and it;s the former who goes close.

Cerny finds his run across the box and he tries to reverse the ball back across Walton, but the United keeper stays big and blocks with his chest before the visitors manage to clear.

It now feels like a second is coming for Gers, who have shown far more urgency since the break and the subs have given them the spark that was missing.

Rangers make another change after the goal.

Jefte off, Ridvan Yilmaz on fir his first appearnce since facing Dynamo Kyiv back in August.

There's the leveller and it's 1-1.

Cerny has looked the most likely and finally he gets his reward.

He plays a little give and go with Danilo, who pops the ball through the defender's legs to put Cerny in on goal.

He stays composed to slot the ball beyond Walton and it's all square at Ibrox.

First change for United.

David Babunski makes way for Jort Van der Sande.

Cerny getting closer.

He collects the ball at the edge of the box after Danilo does well to keep it in play.

The Czech drops a should and moves the ball on to his weaker right foot.

He tries to bend one in the far corner and Walton is beaten, but it flashes narrowly wide of the far post.

Rangers look more threatening but they need one of these to go in.

Rangers spurn a great chance to equalise.

Cerny shows great skill on the right as he gets to the byline and cuts back for Danilo.

The Brazilian shows his rustines though, snatching at the strike and sending the wrong side of the far post when anything on target would have surely made it 1-1.

Hagi looking to make things happen but Rangers need better from their front man if they are to get anything from this game.

More bad news for Rangers.

Aberdeen have levelled away at St Mirren and are ten points ahead of the Ibrox club as things stand.

It's Jamie McGrath on target for the Dons.

United should be 2-0 up.

Ryan Strain faces up his man, hits the byline and stands a cross up.

It finds Dalby, again unmarked in the middle of the Rangers box.

Fortunately for them on this occasion, he can;t direct his glancing header on target and Butland can wave it wide with relief.

Clement's team aren't learning lessons here and United will be kicking themselves that they have';t extended their lead.

Back underway at Ibrox.

A big 45 minutes for Rangers, who have introduced Danilo and Ianis Hagi in place of Cyriel Dessers and Mohamed Diomande in order to provoke a response.

An that's the last acion of the half.

Philippe Clement finds himself in a hole here.

Rangers haven't been without their moents, but it's been another laboured display and United looked like they could score again when they get forward.

it's only Sam dalby;s header that separates the sides just now but as things stand, Rangers could be 12 points beihnd Celtic by later on tonight.

Rangers think they're level but it's chalked off quickly.

Robin Propper arrived to nod home at the back post.

But a handball from Barron in the build up is checked by VAR and they tell the ref to blow his whistle.

0-1 to United it remains as we approach half-time at Ibrox

Rangers lucky it's still only 0-1.

Dalby holds it up well and sets up Kai Fotheringham.

He takes a good touch and fire goalwards and it looks like it;s in all the way but fir a last ditch block by John Souttar.

Rangers looked spooked when United break and the visitors are playing like a side with something to hold on to here.

You wouldn't bet against them extending their lead on this evidence.

As expected, goal given.

Not sure why it took over two minutes to reach that decision. Dalby looked onside without the need for drawing lines.

1-0 United!

The wait was worth it for the visitors and it;s a simple, simple goal for the Tangeries.

There's no pressure on the ball rom Rangers, allowing Vicko Sevelk all the time in the world to put in a cross from deep.

Sam Dalby is in even more space, and there's no-one anywhere near him to even try and put the big striker off as he plants a heade rinto the far corner beyond Butland from dead centre.

There's a VAR check for offside, but Dalby looks like he's being played on by Jefte.

Finger tips from Walton denies Rangers the opener.

Nedim Bajrami shifts the ball out of his feet and curls a great effort towards the far corner.

It's ging in all the way and took Walton at full stretch to just tip it round the far post.

By far the best effort of the game so far and the on loan Luton Town man comes up trumps for the Tangerines.

It's not just Celtic Rangers are chasing.

Unbeaten Aberdeen are also nine points beihd them,

However, they are currently 1-0 down to St Mirren. Could this be a first league defeat for Jimmy Thelin's men?

Rangers will be hoping so, and it wouldn't exactly irk Dundee Utd either.

Walton saves, this time from Raskin.

It's a better effort than his last one, this time on his weaker foot.

But it lacks the pace or pwoer to trouble the Dundee Utd keeper and he's able to save fair comfortably, although takes no chances and opts to palm away to safety.

Accuracy has not been a strong point so far.

Raskin backs up the play from the middle of the park and picks up on a loose ball just ont he edge of shooting distance.

He has a go but gets it wrong - although a better effort than Babunski's - and the ball sails harmlessly Walton's crossbar.

The former Barcelona man takes a fine touch on his chest on the edge of the area and tries to shoot on the half turn.

However, the North macedonian is well off balance and slices it wildly, sending a tame effort bouncing towards the by kick line as Butland saunters over to collect.

A rare foray forward from United.

Babunski drives from midfield and feeds Dalby, who checks after making a run from the centre.

He lays the ball back to Glenn Middleton, who takes on his man and delivers to the near post.

It's too close to Butland though, who gathers bewfore looking to launch a quick counter.

There's no else else all that interested though and the fans share the keeper's frustration.
