Dan Neil will remain a key player for Rangers despite his mistake leading to the side dropping two Premiership points at Dundee, according to goalkeeper Ivor Pandur.

Steven Pressley's side took the lead at Dens Park through striker Bradley Fink but Badredine Bouanani's first goal for the Ibrox club three minutes later and Nico Raskin's magnificent strike turned the game around.

However, Neil fumbled in possession and Dundee midfielder Callum Jones fired past Pandur to earn Steven Pressley's side a deserved draw.

It was a frustrating setback for Rangers after seven straight wins but Pandur was quick to take the blame from the shoulders of Neil, who was captain in the absence of the injured Lawrence Shankland.

"You cannot take anything for granted in football," said the Croatia goalkeeper.

"The reality is Dan Neil is a great guy, an unbelievable player and really important for our team. He'll continue to be important for us. It can happen to everybody and it does.

"For us, it's about not getting into that position where one mistake really costs us the game. We could have been more in front and had an easier ending.

"Mistakes will happen in football. It's a game of beautiful moments and of mistakes. One day it's one player, another day it's the other.

"But we're not a team who points fingers. We created a lot and should have scored more. But it's not about individuals here.

"If we want to be a title-winning team we need to act and behave in that certain way. We're on the right path but it was a frustrating game for us.

"It's not a nice feeling, especially coming from a winning run and we're not happy about it. But we're in this together and we'll have these moments in the season."
