Rangers came from a two-goal deficit to beat Dundee 4-3 win in a seven-goal Scottish Premiership classic that saw Nigeria’s Cyriel Dessers’ netting a dramatic 93rd-minute winner.
Dessers had 12 shots at Dens Park – the highest total for a player in the Premiership this season.
All 12 shots were in the opposition box.
Nine of the shots were on target, and that does not include his finish that was ruled out for offside.

The striker decided to save the one that counted for the 93rd minute.
The best and the worst of the Nigerian was well and truly on show.
Dundee’s Tiffoney missed a chance to punish Rangers and Oluwaseun Adewumi smashed a post.
However, Rangers who looked vulnerable throughout the game stole the show with Dessers’ 93rd minute winner.
Barry Ferguson’s side 3-1 down on the 75th minute, long-range strikes from captain James Tavernier and substitute Tom Lawrence dragged the visitors level before Dessers eventually found the net after being denied on multiple occasions.
Both teams went into the fixture buoyed by derby triumphs in their previous outings, but it was Tony Docherty’s men who sparked an enthralling encounter when Simon Murray cushioned in a delightful finish from a corner within two minutes.
And, after Dessers had passed up his first two clear-cut chances, Joe Shaughnessy bundled in following a calamitous error from goalkeeper Jack Butland to put rattled Rangers 2-0 down for the fifth time in seven games.

Finlay Robertson then had a strike disallowed for an earlier foul before Shaughnessy sliced a Tavernier cross into his own net to ignite a potential comeback.
Any hopes of that looked dead when Scott Tiffoney smashed in a devastating third from 20 yards shortly after Dessers was denied by the video assistant referee (VAR) for a narrow offside.
However, Tavernier and Lawrence both drilled in beauties of their own within six minutes of each other before Dessers sparked absolute bedlam in the away end and dugout by lofting a close-range finish over goalkeeper Trevor Carson.
There was still time for Dundee captain Murray to rattle the left-hand post in an extraordinary finale, but Docherty’s side, who remained 11th, ended a remarkable match with zero points after looking destined for three.
