Dramatic stopping blow Cyriel Dessers brought Rangers the last win of 4-3 over Dundee in a mesmerizing Premiership match at Dens Park.
Dark Blues’s striker Simon Murray scored after only two minutes, and Captain Joe Shaughnessy added a second in the 19th minute against separated visitors.
Temporary chief of Barry Ferguson was handed a life when Shaughnessy scored his own goal just before the interruption, with dessers, which is 100. The competitive look for Rangers missed a series of chances.
The Scott Tifoney striker scored 3-1 in the 62th minute, and all the points remained at home, but Skipper Rangers James Tavernier reduced the deficit in the 76th minute before replacing Tom Lawrence dramatically even five minutes later with another fine strike.
And in the third minute of the stop time, Desers showed his views that never Say-Die, when he entered the winner and finished the extraordinary game.
Rangers, with striker Hamz Igamane, was stunned for the injured Vaclav Cerny when the home side came into the early lead.
Finlay Robertson, who took over the injured midfielder Lyalla Cameron, who was tied to Ibrox in the summer, pulled himself into a corner on the right, and Murray arrived in front of Tavernier and walked past goalkeeper Rangers Jack Butland.
The Ferguson’s side looked devoid of, with any entry into their penalty area a potential problem, but in the 16th minute the dessers were sent to Mohamed Diomanda’s header just to make his low ride blocked by Geeper Trevor Carson’s feet, and the home side defended the angle.
An even more unhappy defense by the Rangers, which began so that Igamane failed to clean his lines after the set ended by throwing Butland out of Shaughnessy and then saved from Murray, who was also unmarked, before Irishman crashed a loose ball in another attempt. VAR Checking whether the offside confirmed the goal.
Robertson then blew up next to Butland, but Judge David Dickinson was already blowing for a foul by Josh Mulligan on Yilmaz, to the relief of relaxed players and fans of Rangers.
The Ibrox side eventually appeared.
Carson saved from Igamane’s long drive, then better saved from Desers’s header from the next corner, but Rangers got a break in the 43rd minute when Shaughnessy cut Tavernier’s cross from a deep right into his net from 12 meters.
Carson saved twice as much as deseser because Light Blues ended up half, although Ferguson changed interval changes, and Ianis Hagi and Bailey Rice replaced Connora Barron and Leon Balogun, providing a return to the back of four.
The game passed from end to end.
Tifoney somehow missed from a few meters from the Mulligan cross a few minutes later, before Desers eventually had a ball in the Dundee net after Carson had only rounded off to make Var ruled by offsid.
Dessers headed to the Tavernier cross from close range, but Dundee’s Oluwaseun Adewumi also missed a few chances, missing the target from Murray’s reduction, and then it was highly lobbying over the bar when it was against Butland.
However, Taysiders renewed the lead when Tifoney entered the Rangers box next to the replacement of Jefta – he for Yilmaz – and fired the past Butland, and thus exchanged his earlier side to Miss.
Tavernier’s wonderful ride from the edge of the box that beat Carson and when Lawrence, on Daomanda, crawled low next to Carson from 25 meters, it was all square – but more drama was immediate.
Murray overthrew the blow against Butland’s post at the time of stopping before Dessers used a hesitation in Dundee’s defense at the other end to send Rangers fans to Ratures – and there was still time for Carson to make two more savings from the attacker.
Dessers: It was a game on Rollercoaster
Rangers goal Hero Cyriel Desers to Sky Sports:
“I’m still trying to find out what just happened!
“From the first minute to 92 minutes it was a rollercoaster, and there was a lot of pain for 91 minutes, but then, yes, to make this feel good.
“This team, the mentality of not giving up, shows again – unfortunately we have to show it too much – how good we are on our return.
“It would be much easier if we give the first blow and they have to come.”
Ferguson: We never relented
Rangers Temporary Chief Barry Ferguson to Sky Sports:
“My thoughts are really satisfied with three points, but overall I have seen so many old habits.
“I just had a word with them and I won’t let that happen.
“It’s something we need to work on. We have all week and that’s something I, my staff and players go through.
“There was a stage in the game that sometimes I was a little confused, but one thing I would say about them was that they showed the character again. They never released.”
