Dundee United 1 Rangers 1 LIVE reaction as champions held at Tannadice

Rangers title hopes hit a bump in the road at Tannadice as they were held to a 1-1 draw by battling Dundee United .

With Celtic in action later this afternoon against struggling Dundee, Gio van Bronckhorst's side knew a win was vital to keep up the pressure on the Hoops.

Having toppled Borussia Dortmund on Thursday night, they travelled to Dundee full of confidence but despite enjoying the majority of possession and chances in the first half they found themselves one behind at the break.

Ross Graham, perhaps fortunate to have not given away a penalty earlier, leapt above Filip Helander to nod the hosts into the lead from a corner.

Tam Courts' men pulled off a brilliant victory back against Rangers in August, and it looked like they might manage the same again despite Rangers dominating again in the second half thanks to an impressive defensive display.

Eventually van Bronckhorst's men made the breakthrough, with Joe Aribo slamming his side level after connecting sweetly with a Calvin Bassey cutback.

Despite piling the pressure on in the closing stages, with substitute Amad Diallo hitting the post when put clean through, the Terrors held firm to pick up an impressive point that pushes them up to joint-fourth in the Premiership title.

Rangers meanwhile could slip three points behind Celtic should Ange Postecoglou's side see off Dundee at Parkhead this afternoon.
