The home side took a deserved lead in the 38th minutes through striker Bradley Fink but returning Gers attacker Badredine Bouanani fired in a stunning equaliser three minutes later with his first Rangers goal.

Derek McInnes’s side came out re-energised for the second half and took the lead on the hour-mark with midfielder Nico Raskin’s long-range drive but in the 68th minute midfielder Callum Jones took advantage of Gers slackness to level with a drive and ultimately the visitors dropped two points.

However, Dundee were well worth a point with Rangers moving one point behind leaders Celtic, who can increase their lead at home to Hearts on Sunday.
