Match Report | Rangers 1-1 Dundee United
23rd November 2024
On the basis of their second half performance, the Tangerines should have come away with all three points from today's reserve clash at Livingston.
After a rather lacklustre first half performance, United were much brighter after the break, though Hibs still looked dangerous.
Indeed, it was the visitors who took the lead after 25 minutes and against the run of play.
Danny Swanson switched the play to Warren Feeney on the right and he cut inside before drilling an angled right footer from 15-yards across the keeper into the far corner.
The lead, however, was exceedingly short-lived.
A minute later, Hibs raced to the other end, and Fabian Yantorno's cross to the back post was hammered home by Filipe Morais.
Though United had decidedly the better of the second half, it took a fine save from Mike McGovern to deny Hibs midway through the second half.
Both David Goodwillie, twice, and David Robertson missed good chances.
And near the end United almost grabbed the winner, going close from two free-kicks.
Danny Swanson's was a shade too high, while a curling Danny Grainger effort was tipped over by Hibs keeper Andrew McNeill with what was the last kick of the game.
Dundee United: McGovern, Milligan, Watson, Pope, Grainger, D Robertson, Buaben (Cameron 60), Ryan McCord, D Swanson, Feeney, Shala. Subs not used: Grant, Andreoni.
