Rangers Close In on Title Race as Late Surge Sinks Dundee at Ibrox
What looked like a tense, grinding afternoon at Ibrox suddenly turned into a statement win, as Rangers powered past Dundee 3–0 and sent a clear message into the Scottish Premiership title race.
For long stretches, this was not comfortable viewing for the home side. Dundee arrived organised, disciplined and confident enough to slow the game down. Rangers dominated the ball but struggled to turn pressure into clear chances before the break. The crowd sensed the tension. One moment, one decision, was always going to tilt this match.
That moment came early in the second half. Rangers were awarded a penalty after sustained pressure in the box, a decision checked and upheld by VAR. Captain James Tavernier stepped forward and did what he has done time and again, calmly converting to score his 100th league goal for the club. It was a milestone strike and a crucial one.
From there, the game began to open up, but not immediately on the scoreboard. Dundee stayed in it for nearly the entire match, trailing by just one goal deep into the final minutes. Their structure held, but their legs faded. And Rangers, sensing vulnerability, struck with ruthless efficiency.

In stoppage time, Danilo punished a defensive error with a composed finish from distance, effectively sealing the points. Moments later, Djeidi Gassama added a third, curling home a superb strike that finally reflected Rangers’ control and depth.
The 3–0 scoreline suggests comfort, but this win was built on patience and resilience rather than flair. Rangers had to work for it and that is why it matters. This result lifts them into second place, above Celtic and cuts the gap to league leaders Hearts to just four points. Eight straight wins in all competitions now underline their momentum.
Under head coach Danny Rohl, Rangers are no longer just chasing results, they are shaping an identity. He has described his team as “hunters,” and performances like this explain why. They stay in the fight, they trust their structure and when the moment arrives, they strike.
For Dundee, this was a harsh lesson. They competed well, but failed to create enough going forward and late lapses were punished at the highest level.
With fifteen league games still to play, nothing is settled. But the message from Ibrox is clear. Rangers are very much alive in this title race and they are not backing down.
