Rangers drew 2-2 against Dundee in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.

Derek McInnes made just one change to his starting lineup at Dens Park on 17 October, with Badredine Bouanani coming in for Kevin Kelsy.

While Ryan Naderi struggled as the lone striker up top, the Algeria international made the most of his opportunity.

Bouanani scored the equaliser for the Ibrox side after Bradley Fink put Dundee ahead.

Nicolas Raskin then scored a stunner from around 25 yards out to give the Glaswegian outfit the lead around the hour mark.

However, Dan Neil's lapse in concentration in the 69th minute gave Callum Jones an opportunity he couldn't miss to level it for the home side.

Badredine Bouanani gives Derek McInnes headache after Dens Park display

Bouanani has struggled for minutes at Rangers since moving on loan from VfB Stuttgart.

After coming off the bench in the last three matches, McInnes gave the attacker a change from the get-go and he didn't disappoint.

Bouanani, 21, looked like the only threat for the Light Blues in the opening 45 minutes and deservedly got on the scoresheet.

The Algerian ace remained the Govan side's best player after the break and most good things in the final third came through him.

With the forward's display at Dens Park, he has surely given McInnes a selection headache going into the next game.

Minsu Kim has off night for Rangers

Minsu Kim has been incredible for Rangers since coming in from Girona.

The South Korea international has been a key player for McInnes, but stunk at Dens Park as he found himself lost in the number 10 role, playing in behind Naderi.

Kim hardly got on the ball for the Gers in the game, and when he did, he couldn't do much with it.

The attacker was supposed to link the Govan side's midfield and front line, but failed to do so as Naderi cut a frustrated figure and was isolated up top.
