Match Report

Dundee now need one point from their remaining two matches to avoid disaster. It should not be beyond them-but they sure have an appetite for brinkmanship as they twice came back from the dead to snatch a golden point from Rangers.

Ibrox was no place for the faint of heart as the players battled their way through 90 minutes which brought four goals and five bookings. In the end, I reckon justice was seen to be done.

The suspect qualities of the Dundee defence were apparent when their former star Ian Redford was allowed in to head the opening goal in 27 minutes from a Davie Cooper free kick.

Cooper, whom I've seen play better, scored the second after Russell made the running on the left. But both times Dundee clawed their way back.

Their first equaliser was quite superb. Ironically, it came from Youngster Tosh McKinlay, who last-week took such a verbal pasting from manager Archie Knox Ferguson's high cross reached McInally who cut it back to McKinlay. The right foot shot was steered perfectly past McCloy

And they fairly oozed relief in 79 minutes when a through ball from substitute Harris found McCall who stroked that so vital equaliser into the net.

Smith, Kidd and McInally were all booked for Dundee as were McPherson and McAdam for a quite atrocious tackle on striker Lan Ferguson.

The youngster, of course, is wanted by Rangers but he never played to his true potential.

I must say I felt a sneaking sympathy for McInally's booking. He protested after the referee refused a penalty when Fraser appeared to handle in the box.

Jock Wallace rang the changes, replacing Redford and McCoist with youngsters Davies and Ferguson. It made little difference.
