Dundee United comes up big against Rangers

By: j | November 4th, 2008

Dundee United put forth a brilliant effort at Ibrox forcing the Rangers to come from behind to earn a tough 3-3 draw. Steven Davis gave the Rangers the early lead at the eleven minute mark but United’s Morgaro Gomis set-up Francisco Sandaza only six minutes later to draw the match level. At the twenty-eighth minute Scott Robertson’s drive wasn’t dealt with properly by Allan McGregor and Francisco Sandaza was the perfect predator in scooping up the rebound and sending the ball to the back of the net. Eight minutes before the break Saša Papac brought the goal-fest level and he pulled in a Nacho Novo pass. The scoring continued and just before the hour mark Paul Dixon channeled Rory Delap with a long throw-in and Scott Robertson deposited it in the net to give Dundee United the 3-2 lead. With Ibrox unsettled, the Rangers went on the hunt to bring the match even and just as it was seeming like they were going down to a defeat, Kevin Thomson scored in the dying moments from twenty meters out to bring the match to its final 3-3 scoreline.

The Rangers return to SPL action on Sunday against Kilmarnock.

    Good for the Arabs after getting “McMurry-ed” in the CIS Cup final last year.

    United’s on a hell of a run. After the beating you gave my Caley boys on Saturday, I can’t say I was unhappy to see them take points from you.

    It would be great to see a third team emerege as a contender in the SPL. Could it be Dundee United? It certainly isn’t going to be Hearts, that’s for damn sure.
