Rangers added a new chapter of woe to the horror story that season 2000-01 has become for the fallen icons of Scottish football. A gem of a goal from Claudio Caniggia and a stoppage-time clincher from substitute Steven Milne gave Dundee deserved victory just days after neighbours United had knocked them out of the Scottish Cup.

This match, just as on Sunday, was also marked by a Rangers player sent off for two brainless challenges. At Tannadice it was Bert Konterman and last night it was Craig Moore who paid for his rashness with two yellow cards.

The result represents a wasted chance of extending the gap over Hibernian.
