Cyriel Dessers’ dramatic downtime strike gave the Rangers a 4-3 victory in the last stage on Dundee during an exciting first meeting at Dens Park.
Dark Blues striker Simon Murray scored after only two minutes and captain Joe Shaughnessy added a second in the 19th minute against disjointed visitors.
The acting boss team Barry Ferguson received a rescue buoy when Shaughnessy scored a clean goal just before the break, with descents, making his 100th competitive appearance for the Rangers, having missed a series of chances.
Strongr Scott Tiffoney succeeded 3-1 in the 62nd minute and all the points seemed to stay at home, but the Rangers skipper James Tavernier reduced the deficit in the 76th minute before the replacement Tom Lawrence was spectacular five minutes later with another beautiful strike.
And in the third minute of the time of downtime, the Dessers demonstrated his attitude constantly when he suffocated to mark the winner and finish a remarkable match.
The Rangers, with the striker Hamza Igamane for the wounded Cerny Vaclav, had been amazed when the local team ran in an early advance.
Finlay Robertson, who succeeded in the injured midfielder Lyall Cameron who is linked to Ibrox in summer, wrapped in a corner of the right and Murray entered Tavernier and stole the goalkeeper Jack Butland.

The Ferguson team looked without, with any entry into their penalty surface, a potential problem, but in the 16th minute, the Dessers were sent clear by a Mohamed Diomande header only so that its roadside is blocked by the legs of the Trevor Carson and the local side defends the corner.
A more calamite defense of the Rangers who started with Igamane not having erased his lines after a whole ended with Butland who escaping a head of Shaughnessy, then saving from Murray who was not not marked, before the Irishman overturned the loose ball during the second attempt. A VAR for offside has confirmed the goal.
Robertson then exploded a shot after the house, but referee David Dickinson had already exploded for a fault by Josh Mulligan on Yilmaz, for the relief of the players and supporters of the besieged rangers.
The Ibrox side finally went up.
Carson saved from the long -range promenade of Igamane, then made a better stop of the head of the following corner descriptions, but the Rangers obtained a break in the 43rd minute when Shaughnessy decided the cross of Tavernier to deeply on the top right in his own 12 meter net.
Carson has saved twice more siders while the light blues have finished half, although Ferguson made changes to the interval, Ianis Hagi and Bailey Rice replacing Connor Barron and Leon Balogun ensuring a return to a rear four.
The game has accelerated from start to finish.
Tiffoney somehow missed a few meters from a Mulligan cross a few minutes later, before the descers finally had the ball in the Dundee net after having rounded Carson only so that Var does not governed on the offside.
Dessers led Tavernier’s crossing at close range, but Oluwaseun Adewumi from Dundee also missed a few chances, missing the target of a Murray cup, then launching high on the bar when it is against Butland.

However, the Taysiders restored their advance when Tiffoney accelerated in the Rangers box after the JEFTE substitute – in Yilmaz – and pulled after Butland, thus making a fine of his previous horror failure.
The wonderful Tavernier road from the edge of the box that beat Carson and when Lawrence, for Diomande, almost passed Carson from 25 meters, everything was square – but more drama was imminent.

Murray broke a shot against the butland post in the stop time before the descriptions took advantage of the hesitation in the defense of Dundee to the other end to send fans of the ranting rangers – and there was still time for Carson to make two other strikes by the attacker.
DESSERS: It was a game of roller coaster
The hero of the Rangers Cyriel Dessers in Sky Sports:
“I always try to discover what just happened!”
“From the first minute until the 92nd minute, it was a roller coaster, and it was a lot of pain for 91 minutes, but then, to win, it feels good.
“This team, the mentality of not giving up, shows again – unfortunately, we must show it too much – how good we are to come back.
“It would be much easier if we made the first punch and they had to come.”
Ferguson: We have never sold
The acting boss of the Rangers Barry Ferguson in Sky Sports:
“My thoughts are that I am really satisfied with the three points, but overall, I saw so many old habits slip.
“I came a word with them on this subject and I will not allow it to happen.
“This is something we need to work on. We have a full week now and that’s something that I, my staff and the players will pass.
“There were stages in the game that I was a little disconcerted sometimes, but something that I would say about them is that they showed up character again. They never gave in.”
