Rangers win v Dundee was interrupted by sprinklers in second half
Rangers came from behind to seal all three points against Dundee in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday (20 March).
Goals from Aaron Ramsey and Connor Goldson in the second half earned them a 2-1 crucial victory in the league.
The Gers struggled to maintain the tempo throughout, and several interruptions during the game didn’t help.
In the first half, Rangers fans threw toilet rolls and tennis balls on the pitch to mark their protest against the decision to play a friendly game against Celtic in Australia.
In the second half, during the game, the sprinklers suddenly came out and made the pitch watery. Jordan Campbell of The Athletic shared the event on Twitter with a caption: “Sprinklers have just come on. Can’t beat it.”
Big second-half display
Rangers struggled in the first half as they failed to break past Dundee defence.
However, it was a massive performance in the second half, and Giovanni van Bronckhorst deserves a lot of credit.
He changed the formation, made quick changes, and most importantly he has guided the team to grind out a result even when they were not playing at their best.
Ramsey, who was largely anonymous in the first half, made a huge impact in the second and got the equaliser.
Goldson added the sucker-punch when he grabbed the winner late on.
After impressing in the Europa League campaign, this was the reaction needed from the Champions, and they duly responded.
Kemar Roofe, who came on as a substitute, also played a big part in the victory. He was directly involved with both the goals in the second half.
Rangers dominated the game, managing 78% of possession and registered 11 shots, according to BBC Sport.
