The Glasgow Rangers defeated Dundee on the 31st date of the Scottish League as a visitor. Alfredo Morelos played 84 minutes and despite not converting it was vital in the club's comeback to continue with the aspirations of winning the title.

After six minutes of play, the local team opened the account through Christie Elliot after a cross from his teammate Jordan Marshall, so that the right back dressed as a striker and send her to save.

The match had to be stopped for a few minutes because some Rangers fans threw tennis balls in protest of their team's friendly match with Celtic in Australia.

Once the match resumed, Alfredo Morelos was close to the tie at 16 minutes after a lead shot that went astray, and that put Dundee on alert.

Those led by Giovanni van Bronckhorts took over the ball to seek parity quickly and had several approaches to the opposing goal without any success.

The clearest chance of equalizing the contest came in 40 minutes after the judge pointed out a maximum penalty on Alfredo Morelos who was held off the shirt by Jordan McGhee.

The person in charge of kicking the penalty was former Wigan and captain James Tavernier, who missed the charge after 42 minutes after sending the ball over the goal.

The first half would end with the partial triumph of Dundee that gave the 'hit' of the day by defeating the current Scottish league champion.

For the second half Giovanni van Bronckhorst, he would move the bench of substitutes by sending Zambian center forward Fashion Sakala and 25-year-old Nigerian midfielder Joe Aribo to the field.

The second half was slow to start because this time the visiting fans threw roles on the field, so they had to be retired for the ball to roll at Kilmac Stadium at Dens Park.

Alfredo Morelos again headed after a cross from James Tavernier disturbed the goal of Ian Lawlor, who cleared the danger with his fists saving Dundee from the draw as the 60th minute passed.

However, four minutes later the long-awaited goal of the Rangers came through the Welsh Aron Ramsey, who finished with a right after a very weak reaction from the local goalkeeper to score his first goal for the 'Gers'.

Finally, four from the end would end the suffering for Rangers who found the victory with Connor Goldson, who scored the final 2-1 inside the box.

With this victory against the colero of the championship, Rangers are second with 73 points just three units behind Celtic, who defeated Ross Country on Saturday at home. Precisely, both teams will play the Scottish classic on April 3 in what will be the definition of the league title.

While internationally, the Morelos team will face the first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals against SC Braga in Portugal.

On the other hand, Reinaldo Rueda hopes that the player will join the Colombia National Team rally in the coming hours with a view to the knockout games against Bolivia and Venezuela respectively.
