Dundee fell to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of champions Rangers at Ibrox.

The Dark Blues goalie would deny Morelos with another fine stop before the break.

Legzdins continued to deny the Light Blues after the break with the post also coming to the rescue from a deflected Scott Arfield effort.

It was 2-0 on 55 minutes, however, as Sweeney put an Aribo cross into his own net.

Despite the defeat, Dundee remain in ninth position in the Premiership table as Rangers went nine clear at the top.
