Match Report | Rangers 1-1 Dundee United
23rd November 2024
Short of a sensational 94th minute winner, United supporters will surely feel that the entertainment at Tannadice this afternoon was of a very high standard. From the first minute through to the last minute, fans of the Tangerines experienced every emotion a football match can provide. And with the 3-3 draw extending Ian McCall's team's undefeated home run to eleven matches, currently the best in the SPL following Celtic's midweek reversal at Parkhead, hopes are high that the brisk sales of 2004-2005 season tickets will continue. This was United's second second half come back from a two goal deficit in consecutive home matches and the current Tangerine team will not accept defeat easily. The term Fortress Tannadice is certainly merited as Ian McCall's charges have gone on their best home run for many many years.
United started off in fantastic style with a Billy Dodds's opener after just 40 seconds when he ran to the back post and tapped in a free kick from Wilson. It was Dodds's tenth of the campaign, but Rangers powered back into the match to take the lead courtesy of two goals by former Tangerine Steven Thompson, the second from the penalty spot following a tackle by David McCracken on Stephen Hughes. The Ibrox side extended their lead with a third scored by Namouchi who had come on for the injured Mols.
Two behind at the interval, the introduction of Jason Scotland proved the turning point. Just before the hour mark, Scotland fired in a powerful drive past McGregor in the Rangers goal to reduce the deficit to a single goal and during the four minutes of stoppage time being played, Jason netted the equaliser with another fierce some drive that gave the Rangers keeper no chance.
Hearts are the visitors next Saturday and United will be hoping for another big home support to back the team in their fantastic home run. With United fans outnumbering the Rangers support more than two to one, next weekend's match promises more excitement if the Arabs continue to turn out in large numbers. United fans will receive a
