Rangers squander perfect chance

The Rangers squandered a perfect opportunity to make up ground on Celtic as they played to a 2-2 draw against Dundee United. While Celtic and Hearts fought to a draw, the Rangers will rue this missed opportunity and were in-fact hard pressed to earn a draw. While the Gers took the lead eleven minutes in with Kris Boyd's strike from inside the box, Dundee United brought Tannadice Park to its feet as Lee Wilkie scored five minutes past the hour as he headed in Paul Dixon's cross from the back post. Only four minutes the home side took the lead with Paul Dixon once again the provider, as time Warren Feeney nodding his cross. However with time dwindling down the Rangers began to play with greater urgency and with fourteen minutes remaining Nacho Novo provided Kyle Lafferty a perfect opportunity which he converted neatly bring the match level. The Rangers came within a whisper of scoring the winner with Pedro Mendes late effort but it was not to be and the match ended with a 2-2 draw.

The Rangers return to action next Saturday against Hibernian at Ibrox.
