00:00This is at Hampden a week ago and against Roma, it's coming on Ojan Mioski, Danilo and
00:09Mohamed Diamande of the players making way as Conor Barron and Tello Asgard also join us.
00:18An intriguing triple change from Danny Roel, Neil. Yeah, interesting as Ailey was saying there,
00:26passing on tactics on the pitch generally that's done inside the dressing room but
00:30yeah prepared to show his hand to everybody but yeah freshened the side up Rangers which is interesting
00:37both strikers coming off Danilo and Mioski
00:47Neither of whom offered much in the first half, Chimiti is now the focal point
00:54Cornelius clears down via Chimiti but he was offside
01:04Yeah, I'm kind of surprised that Rangers have made all the subs
01:07I thought if anyone was going to make changes it would have been Steven Presley for Dundee but
01:14sent the team out to get
01:15get something back in the game for them
01:24Rangers have now scored in their last 21 away games in the Scottish Premiership
01:28So it's a 1-0 defeated Kilmarnock last season, Danny Roel on course for three successive wins in the league
01:41Oh Marky Moore
01:52Oh Marky Moore
01:54We'll get the free kick taken out by Imari Samuels
01:58Yeah, he's looked sharp doesn't he? Good flick on from Chimiti
02:15James Tavernier over this Rangers looking to extend their advantage
02:27Increased their height as well so they have with those substitutions not Connor Barron of course
02:31He's gone down a few times I have to say in this game
02:59I'm not sure how much contact he's making that blind run he's just running to the back
03:04I'm not sure who it is he's running to the back of
03:08Noghan maybe I'm not sure
03:11smashes into the back of him anyway
03:14similar to the set piece of trick they did against Kilmarnock where he comes on the
03:18the late run round the back
03:20and surprisingly it has been checked and cleared by VAR
03:29Celtic kicked off at four o'clock against Kilmarnock and they've scored already johnny kenny in the 10th minute
03:47Rangers have scored two first half goals in the league for the first time
04:00since their epic 3-2 win at celtic park back in march
04:06Raskin opened the score on that day as well like he's done today
04:09Savernier with a long throw and it's got good distance on it
04:20Nagoma as guard
04:24it's Nagoma
04:28Raskin
04:39Conor Barron
04:51Chimiti rising but Kometio won it
04:55Asgard has it back
04:58Mikey Moore
05:00Asgard
05:03Asgard
05:03Cracken have to spring into action
05:08yeah I'm not sure if it's going to find the back of the net there but brilliant feet from Asgard
05:11just chops as it comes back to him here just chop back onto that right side he's trying to reverse it
05:17dipping low yeah it's finding the net's a brilliant stop
05:22just dips right in front of John McCracken and it's a really good right hand he's got to it
05:27well this first rangers goal was a stunner against Dundee united they must have one against Dundee there
05:36Rangers looking for a third in front of the end where their fans are housed
05:44Tavernier sends it in Raskin showing intent again
05:50Chimiti
05:52can't bring that under control
06:09big money signing from Everton
06:12yeah he's got a big boots to fill wearing that number the amount of goals it's been scored with wearing number nine
06:27incredible
06:31most recently by Cyril Dessis who's as we mentioned earlier his figures were
06:36good could have been a lot better of course because he certainly missed a view but still up there
06:42yeah you're right but i'm telling you rangers have missed these goals here this season
06:49a lot of threat has dropped out the side this year
06:52Czerny, Goan, Ugman, Dessers have yet to recover those goals and threat
06:58Czerny, Goan, Dessers are the goals that rangers have been missing well yeah um
07:28there you go i mean it's a lot of goals isn't it that's an incredible amount of firepower
07:34that you've lost and if you don't replace it clearly it's going to be a big issue for you
07:38it was for russell martin and danny rule needs to find
07:42those guys and that man up there is uh
07:45uh there's a main man in the firing line for the fans that he's not done that so far for rangers
07:54well nobody can really argue that there hasn't really been many upgrades in various positions
08:00to what was there previously digby
08:08ashley
08:14comitio samuels
08:29butlin is having that
08:30yeah it needs to be so much better from dundee they need to trust themselves that
08:36they can go through the lines first couple of minutes of the game they had shown that they
08:41wanted to play in the middle of the park get through into the sharp end playing long balls
08:46like that for the big man up top i don't think it's going to work
08:51butler ensured that rangers finally kept a clean sheet away from home for the first time in 25
08:59matches with that late penalty save at easter road he's actually saved six of his last seven
09:06penalties remarkable record plus couple in that shootout with fenobachi
09:15congre
09:22lastly goes back
09:26luke graham samuels isn't getting to that
09:36graham
09:48baron in the way mikey moore having a good game
09:52hamilton shrugs off baron yeah good balls out of pass as well for congreve
10:12agree stopped by magoma yeah it's going on the outside congreve i think with the left foot
10:19and coming in inside magoma would be a probably a better idea driving into his weak side
10:28yo gan
10:31samuels
10:31it's been a goal that petaudry and aberdeen have scored it jesper carlson making quite an impact
10:48there they lead against motherwell
10:51do you think simon murray will be coming on we don't think actually because i can see him stripping
10:59off and yendanda as well
11:05samuels
11:08you again
11:11no i thought he should have rolled it samuels the ball there in
11:15nice little underlap they gave him you again just didn't see it they didn't want to play it certainly
11:21so
11:35stephen presley about to make a double change
11:38saman murray open the scoring against rangers here in that seven goal thriller last season after just 88
11:48seconds but a lot more happened after that was being frustrated by mattie mcdermott's whistle
11:57yeah he's not happy
11:58ethan hamilton rasky just rolls round not an awful lot in it
12:04and more
12:12and more through for asgard
12:18gusama waiting for a pullback moore was there too but his route was blocked
12:25yeah it's actually just a little bit lazy from chermity
12:38i think he's upset that he gets robbed in the first instance
12:42he doesn't need to do it he's just running the guy's just running right into james tavenier he's lucky to
12:47escape a yellow card actually probably
12:54trey wright and emil aqua will be the players making way for dundee shortly
12:57for dundee shortly
13:11jimiti
13:11Kassama took it off Ashley
13:17Kassama again, Mikey Moore alongside
13:21the Kraken saves and recovers
13:23he's always chopping isn't he
13:26Kassama always coming back onto that right foot
13:28he does great here
13:29and this is a brilliant little pass
13:31beautiful weight on it
13:34and then he chops inside
13:36another good stop from the Kraken
13:37it's just like one of those awkward heights
13:39here come those changes
13:47Simon Murray, Dundee's new captain this season
13:49he's struggling with a
13:52niggling injury
13:55he's only actually scored one goal
13:57in the league this season
13:59after loads last season
14:01when only Cyril Dessa scored more
14:04Rundander also on
14:06and Dundee hoping Simon Murray
14:12can spark them
14:14he's got to love this guy
14:17he's just 100% isn't he
14:19I'm surprised he didn't start
14:21a tough afternoon for Aqua
14:23but this man will certainly run his heart out
14:26try and get Dundee back into the game
14:27I was a little bit surprised
14:28there's a couple of boos going around
14:30when I saw Dre Wright leaving the field
14:32there's been another goal at Petaudry
14:41and this time it is an equaliser
14:43for Elijah just
14:45and for Motherwell
14:46Hearts Dundee United
14:56also 1-1 at the moment
14:58Celtic scored early against Kilmarnock
15:00Rangers 2-0 lead
15:12remains intact
15:13three premiership wins in a row
15:17is looking likely
15:18Magoma
15:38Kusama
15:39Digby won it back
15:42Hamilton takes over
15:43Bigby
15:50Samuels
15:52Yogan
15:55Souter easily clears the cross
16:02a bit better from Dundee though
16:09Tundee's header lands
16:27at the feet of Yogan
16:29Dundee haven't managed to attempt on goal
16:35in the second half
16:36they need that to change
16:37Yogan skipped away from Tavernier
16:39but
16:39same outcome as the last cross
16:42met by Souter
16:43yeah he's got a strange style
16:45of crossing Yogan
16:46he's got three or four times now
16:48he's gone past
16:49Tavernier into good areas
16:51and just trying to
16:51I don't know
16:52clip him in
16:53there's no pace on the cross
16:54whatsoever
16:55it's going to be difficult to defend
16:56Simon Murray
17:03in a hurry
17:06after winning the throw
17:07Dunder
17:19Cornelius
17:30Cornelius across to
17:31scoop that away
17:33sent back by
17:34Astley
17:34Barron
17:36Ninjas on course to make it
17:4017 away games
17:42unbeaten in the
17:43Premiership
17:44they did do 21
17:45under
17:46Steven Gerrard
17:47Jogan
17:54Rangers are going to make another change
18:04which will see the arrival of the
18:05Finnish
18:06winger
18:07Oliver Antman
18:09waiting in the wings
18:14and he's going to replace
18:17Mikey Moore
18:18we think
18:19Dunder
18:30Samuels
18:35comfortable for Butler
18:37yeah
18:39Simon Murray's made a run
18:40across the face
18:41to John Suter
18:42he wants to just slip down
18:43to his feet there
18:43Samuels doesn't see him
18:45he wants to get a run
18:49to Niko Raskin
18:50he wants to get a run
18:51to Niko Raskin
18:52he wants to get a run
18:53to Niko Raskin
18:54your game
18:57yeah nico raskin's complaining but he shouldn't he does kill him your gun just gets inside him and
19:11yeah you can see it's a clear foul he's got to hold his jersey first of all he does let it go
19:16as he gets towards the box but clear yellow card
19:19and they've started to creep back into it for me the changes have worked a wee bit in terms of
19:26getting a foothold in the match although they're not really threatened
19:28jack buckland and rangers goal they've been much better in possession
19:32they could do with something happening here rangers something to think about
19:46there's a big gap there look at that well
19:48mcgorma's standing just fizzed right another probably prefer the left footer to do that
19:54though
19:55will there be a key moment in this match
20:00so peace offers hope dander straight
20:06at butland yeah it's ambitious comfortable for jack butland
20:11just felt that the gap was there for a left footer but he's made some changes
20:18stephen presley's tried to have a bit more of a goal
20:21that was their first shot on target dundee since the third minute of the match
20:34there's a little nudge by luke graham
20:47nice look pass from tavernier he's got to do better again just take it in protect it
20:54so uh oliver antman's coming on and what did you make of mikey moore today neil
21:03i look really sharp i've been a bit disappointed in terms of his
21:08his input and his numbers in terms of assists and goals because i think he's got a lot to offer in terms of ability
21:15but that was a brilliant finish today and i think throughout the match he has looked sharp
21:19he's probably a little bit disappointed coming off because he's
21:22i'm sure he's been enjoying himself this afternoon
21:25as for oliver antman i'm sure the rangers fans are hoping he's one of a few
21:31where his best might be to come
21:34yeah well he's a different type altogether from mickey moore he's a more straight line speed
21:39type of forward player winger
21:49dander took over and found simon murray the two subs
21:53butlin holds onto it
21:56hey alex to take this with his right foot i didn't think it any angle whatsoever
22:00to find a shot played from dander john sueter's nice and tight
22:05somehow finds a gap in the legs of john sueter
22:09kumetia
22:27samuels
22:39That's the way down the line for Congreve, now Murray.
22:55That's miles better though, isn't it, from Dundee, you've got a better shape about them.
23:00Moving Rangers about now.
23:09Heading towards the final quarter, what's been one of Rangers' better days this season, Danda.
23:34Congreve.
23:37Well that worked out nicely, and Simon Murray's waiting in there, John Suter had to get there.
23:42Yeah, first class defending from John Suter, he's aware that Murray's behind him.
23:48He makes sure he puts himself right in a good position to clear that front post area.
23:52Danda having put the last cross in, put another one in, and it's a corner again.
23:57Rangers have dropped off it, but it's down to how Dundee have changed their shape, personnel.
24:02A lot more intent in their play.
24:08Congreve will try again, and this one's going straight in.
24:15It's met by Tavernier.
24:19Congreve has Gasama to contend with.
24:21He does have support from Danda here.
24:23Dundee are having a little go.
24:37Dundee are having a little go.
24:44Well there's the evidence that Dundee are coming back into it.
24:47It's a concern for Danny Root.
24:48This game's not done yet, still plenty of time for Dundee to play.
24:56Congreve.
24:58It's rather unlike him.
25:01Yeah, I think he looks up with his left foot first and sees that Simon Murray's well across the front post.
25:07And Joghan's out beyond the back post, and he just decides to chop back onto his right side.
25:12He's not going to deliver with the same accuracy on that side.
25:15He's not going to deliver with the same accuracy on that side.
25:17He's not going to deliver with the same accuracy on that side.
25:18He's not going to deliver with the same accuracy on that side.
25:44Murray, Danda.
25:45Congreve showing interest
25:49shadowed by
25:51Magoma, Congreve
25:53similar cross to his last one
25:56yeah
25:58I don't mind that he's trying to be positive
26:01he'll not be happy with the deliveries
26:03but at least he's trying to make something
26:05happen for Steven Presley
26:07it's been a good loan signing from Swansea
26:14spent last season on loan at Bromley
26:17where he scored
26:18six goals
26:20I thought for a second there that John McCracken
26:36was going to take that throwing
26:37he decided against it
26:44Dundee
26:49go again
27:04Samuels
27:05couldn't pick out Dandup
27:08Barron
27:10now Asgard
27:13Tavernier
27:21nice game
27:23Rangers
27:32can't even get a corner out of that
27:35with
27:36Kusama and Magoma
27:38linking up
27:39goal kick
27:39good covering from
27:43Cabernet and Congreve there
27:44working back
27:45making sure that he's tracking
27:46Magoma
27:48I think Ethan Hamilton's saying
28:05look at the size of him
28:06what am I supposed to do
28:08he might have a point big man
28:10well
28:15he might have a point big man
28:15but he's not a loser
28:16with
28:18him
28:19that's
28:20are
28:21Jack
28:22is
28:23that's
28:25funny
28:27he's not a fool
28:29he's not a fool
28:30he's not a fool
28:30but he's not a fool
28:32you've got a fool
28:32I mean
28:33I mean
28:34he's a fool
28:34he's a fool
28:35he's a fool
28:36I mean
28:37You again?
28:44The Rangers have home games against Livingston and Forkirk later this month.
29:10And in between another home game against the Braga in the Europa League.
29:21Fixtures that in the premiership anyway gives them an opportunity of maintaining a winning
29:26sequence.
29:31Yeah.
29:35Hamilton.
29:36Got his shot away but again they all seem to be straight at this man although he's still
29:41got to deal with it.
29:42Yeah he's not happy though because they shouldn't be coming under that type of pressure.
29:47He wants more push from his defenders, shutting people down.
29:51It's comfortable in the end for Jack Butlin but Dundee are certainly making a fist of it now.
30:04Dundee after the international break go to Easter Road to face Hibbs and then St Mirren come
30:11here.
30:21Baron.
30:22Asgard.
30:24Aracan's kick went to Raskan to adjust himself.
30:41Magoma Kasama.
30:53Powered by Congreve.
30:56So far so good in the premiership anyway for Danny Roll.
31:11He's just got to keep winning.
31:12He isn't as simple as that.
31:13I think the schedule has been so tight.
31:14Turn around for game.
31:15He's probably not had an awful lot of training time on the pitch with the players so winning
31:28games is all that matters right now.
31:30Not about performances.
31:31Sita makes a run across the middle of that group of players.
31:44Cornelius is waiting for it to come to him but cleared away.
31:50Yeah, Kometio, good header.
31:52He's coming down from a big height and it's dropping into a really dangerous area.
31:57He knows he's going to come under pressure.
31:59Kometio is a really good defender.
32:04Rangers looking for that third goal.
32:19Ryle Cameron is going to come on to Rangers shortly against the club that he left in the
32:24summer.
32:25That man's cross.
32:32Raskan's header.
32:33It's a really smart save from the Kraken.
32:36It looked like Raskan was scoring again with his head.
32:39Tavernier tries again.
32:42Raskan.
32:43Well, this is an absolutely brilliant save from the Kraken.
32:57Raskan is free as a bird again and what a good header it is.
33:01He's slightly on his left foot as well and has to get back across.
33:04It's a stunning stop.
33:06You're O-Gan.
33:15Well Cameron will be coming on for JD Kusama, Asgard has muscled in on Luke Graham and seen
33:25them off. Here is Kusama about to take his leave.
33:47Raskan, perfect pick out, Asgard, now Ant-Man, it's blocked by Samuels.
33:56That's a brilliant pass from Raskan, but when it gets into Asgard I think he's just got his slip.
34:01Cermiti, he's trying to hold his line, he's not happy he's not been given it as well, but
34:08what a chance that is, great contact again Raskan. Surely Dundee must be saying right,
34:14somebody pick him up now.
34:34James Tavern here ready to take this corner, will it lead to another goal, as it did early
34:41on for Nico Raskan. Dundee could be on the move here, Congreve, Grangers caught short, Simon
34:49Murray.
34:51Grangers did recover. Yeah I think Simon Murray makes the wrong run, Ian. Digby's just bombing
35:01into that right channel. And I felt that if Simon Murray would have just held the left side,
35:06and there was better opportunity for Dundee.
35:11Some cheers for Lyle Cameron, back in his home city and back in his former club.
35:16It's only his second substitute appearance in the last 15 matches.
35:22Dundee has been given a look in here, and just making sure that Derek Cornelius is alright,
35:29and I'm not sure he is, so they might change that plan to take Gassama off.
35:35I'm waiting for confirmation that Cornelius is okay.
35:44Meantime Dundee are taking off Tony Yogan, and bringing on Charlie Riley, who certainly
35:50has had his injury issues in his time at Dundee, it's just his fourth appearance of this season,
35:56also as a sub.
35:58John Suter is telling Cornelius to get off, and the big fella, I don't think he wants to get off,
36:04but now he's just taking a seat.
36:05He's just taking a seat.
36:17Kassama.
36:21They're going off anyway, and Nasser Jiga being prepared for Cornelius,
36:28unless they decide not to bring Cameron on.
36:31They did three at half time, didn't they, in Rantmann, so...
36:51Venerious back on his feet.
36:54Yeah, I think Lyle Cameron's on they? Go back to the bench.
36:58Typical that.
37:03Just as he thought he was going to see some rare action.
37:07We'll change the plan and Nasser Giga will come on instead.
37:28So, Giga for Cornelius in the end.
37:46Ant-Man challenging.
37:48A bit away by Samuels.
37:58Tavernier.
38:13Raskin.
38:15Well, he's picked out Chimiti.
38:17On the volley.
38:19Yeah, it takes it well on his chest.
38:22The volley on target, but absolutely no power on the shot.
38:26Very comfortable for McCracken.
38:39Rangers in no great rush at the moment as they aim to preserve their two-goal advantage.
38:43Come on, guys.
38:54Still 1-1 at Tynecastle, by the way.
39:17Hearts against Dundee United.
39:19And 1-1 also for Todri.
39:22Aberdeen Motherwell coming to the end of those.
39:33Kusama.
39:34Apparently to be replaced, but now making an impact.
39:36And Ant-Man didn't really connect properly.
39:41McCracken's cleaning out everybody in there.
39:43It doesn't matter if it's his own players or not.
39:51Hamilton.
39:53Can Dundee make it an uncomfortable finale for Rangers?
40:04Dander.
40:10Digby.
40:10John Suter's having that comfortably.
40:32OK.
40:32OK.
40:32OK.
40:32OK.
40:32OK.
40:32OK.
40:33OK.

40:38OK.
40:39OK.
40:40Well, I'm up.
40:42Trapped by Congreve.
40:48The game just died, doesn't it?
40:51I mean, it's just the pace has completely gone out of it.
40:55Rangers just look as if they're just trying to wind the clock down.
41:00Yeah, it's not pretty this, but it will be effective for Danny Roll.
41:04if he can make it three successive wins in the premiership and with the next two games at home to
41:10the promoted sides not that there are any guarantees in this scottish season about much
41:34rangers may have had their issues and many of them but still unbeaten on their premiership travels
41:58since losing at st mirin last boxing day looks like that run will continue
42:10not a lot happening in this game at the moment dundee needs some encouragement they need a goal
42:24rascam though
42:33salma going some
42:34and a free kick for dundee
42:51yeah Charlie O'Reilly just getting the toe ahead of James Tavenier
43:01need something quick dundee if they're going to get back into it
43:03and the clock's quickly running down
43:06it felt like it was slowly running down in the last 10 minutes or so
43:18for you
43:20here's that man
43:26nothing doing
43:27he didn't want to make eye contact with the referee there
43:38hungry against magoma who's won that duel and who has butland to clear it doesn't go far though
43:49but hamilton strike is another routine save for but yeah ambitious to say the least
43:55good defending from magoma a couple of moments before though the congreave quick dogged
44:13well the early indication is that there will only be three minutes added on at dense park
44:19rascam
44:33They have finished up at Petaudry, Aberdeen Motherwell ends in a 1-1 draw.
44:52Here's Charlie Riley, showed too much of that, the suitor who was naturally fancying it.
45:01Final minute of the 90 with three to go.
45:03After that, suitor's been good to date, Ian, he's really been strong in that heart of defence for Rangers, good positionally, good contacts when the balls come into the box.
45:27Asgard.
45:27Salma now looking to get his shot away.
45:37And it's a rather good one to say the least, Rangers finish with a flourish, and it's three wins in a row in the Premiership, progress at last.
45:54Yeah, a bit of magic at the end of the game as well, when it was sadly, sadly gone in the game, it had gone really flat, but Kassama just sparked it for the Rangers fans again.
46:06It's a trademark goal, wasn't it?
46:08We've seen him do this a number of times in the early part of the season, it sort of vanished for a wee bit, but that was just always going to happen.
46:15Coming in on the right side, and he gets a bit of up and under it just to make it dip and find the same net as a brilliant finish from Kassama.
46:24He really has a good, good goal.
46:26He's scored four goals in his first four games, that's only a second since, but it was a good one.
46:31Very good from the man who's been reunited with his manager at Sheffield Wednesday.
46:37Although, Tally Roll was about to take him off until Cornelius got injured and Ziga had to come on instead.
46:45A familiar chant from the Rangers fans, who have taken to their new manager.
47:09Disappointing day again for Steven Presley.
47:15The Rangers, Tundee made a lot of changes this season.
47:23They were an attractive watch the last couple of seasons under Tony Doherty.
47:27Finished top six two seasons ago, of course, before toiling last season.
47:36Tavernier, two Rangers, fancy another.
47:40Asgard does, but it's straight at McCracken.
47:45Fancied it, didn't he?
47:49He's coming in the right side again.
47:52It has finished at Tuncastle and the leaders' hearts have been held to a 1-1 draw by Dundee United.
48:04Celtic one up against Kilmarnik, but that was a four o'clock start.
48:08Tally Roll knows that a lot of hard work lies ahead, but they are building some momentum in the Scottish Premiership.
48:25Yeah, they have to keep winning games, Ian, and he's got off to a brilliant start in terms of the domestic campaign in the league.
48:36They're pleased to see that.
48:37Three goals, three points, three wins in a row in the Premiership for Danny Roll, and Rangers took charge of this game very early.
48:49Another header from Niko Raskan, making a name for himself on that front, put them in front, and then Mikey Moore slotted in a superb second.
49:01Thought he'd had a third.
49:03He was onside, but Mohamed Diamande was offside and viewed to be in the line of the goalkeeper for an earlier shot.
49:11And then, right at the end, J.D. Gassama, who would have been subbed, but for that injury to Cornelius, floated in a wonderful third.
49:21Plenty to ponder for Steven Presley here.
49:24But for Rangers and their suffering fans, it's starting to look a whole lot better, Neil.
49:32Yeah, I saw it.
