Rangers 3-1 Dundee: Jose Cifuentes sent off as Gers narrow the gap on Celtic
Rangers moved to within five points of Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic with a comfortable comeback win over Dundee despite Jose Cifuentes’ first-half red card.
The Ibrox side, unbeaten under Philippe Clement, were stunned early on as Amadou Bakayoko reacted to stab the ball in for Dundee to take the lead.
Cyriel Dessers netted the equaliser before James Tavernier converted from the penalty spot after Aaron Donnelly’s foul on Abdallah Sima.
Sima’s towering header put them 3-1 up before Ciuentes’ yellow card for a dangerous challenge on Bakayoko was upgraded to a red following a VAR check.
The result narrows Rangers’ gap to Celtic, who play Kilmarnock on Sunday live on Sky, to five points while Dundee remain seventh.
