Late penalty rescues Rangers in 1-1 draw against Aberdeen, Celtic maintain lead

Posted : 26 November 2023

Rangers faced a late challenge in their pursuit of Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership, with a 1-1 draw against Aberdeen at Pittodrie. Bojan Miovski's exceptional 11th-minute goal provided Aberdeen with an early lead, leaving Rangers with a significant deficit to overcome.

 

Despite their struggle to break through Aberdeen's defense, Rangers were granted a lifeline in the 94th minute when VAR detected a foul on Connor Goldson, leading to a penalty. James Tavernier calmly converted the penalty, securing a draw but leaving Rangers eight points behind Celtic.

 

Despite having the opportunity to capitalize on Celtic's draw with Motherwell, Rangers couldn't narrow the points gap due to their lackluster attacking performance. Bojan Miovski's early goal had Aberdeen in control for most of the game, and it appeared they would secure a consecutive victory over Rangers.

 

The late VAR intervention changed the course of the match, granting Rangers the penalty that Tavernier expertly converted. However, the visitors missed an opportunity to secure a win in added time when Sam Lammers' header was saved by Aberdeen's Kelle Roos.

 

This draw marks the first time Philippe Clement's Rangers have dropped points in the league since he took charge. While the point ensures they remain in contention, it also highlights the challenges they face in catching up with Celtic.

 

Aberdeen, despite the positive result, finds themselves still in ninth place, just three points above the bottom of the table. The draw sets the stage for an intensifying battle between the top teams in the Scottish Premiership as the season progresses.
