Rangers and Gio van Bronckhorst were left frustrated on Sunday as they were held to a 1-1 draw in the Premiership away from home.

Dundee United found themselves 1-0 up at half-time as they bundled in a header from a corner to take the lead in the first half.  Chances came and went throughout the first 30 minutes of the second half as Benjamin Siegrist pulled off a string of key stops for the home side.

Joe Aribo produced a fine finish from Calvin Bassey's cutback to level the scores with 15 minutes to play, setting up a tense end to the game. Amad Diallo hit the post and Ryan Jack saw an effort brilliantly blocked as Rangers were unable to find the winner and had to settle for a point.

Forget Helander

Filip Helander made his Premiership return at centre-back and lost his man for the goal. He also made a couple of rash challenges and appeared to be off the pace in the first half, but it was Alfredo Morelos who cost the side the three points.

The Colombian centre-forward was not at his best on Sunday as he missed a number of gilt-edged chances to seal the win for the Gers. His all-around display left a lot to be desired after his masterclass against Borussia Dortmund last time out, with burnout a potential explanation for his showing.

Out of possession, he was not good enough. As per SofaSore, he lost 72.7% (8/11) of his individual battles throughout the match. He also committed two fouls whilst failing to make a single tackle or interception in his 96 or so minutes on the pitch.

On the ball, he was wasteful. Via SofaScore, he had five shots on goal and missed an unbelievable three 'big chances' in front of goal, whilst also completing one of his two dribble attempts. This shows that he was nowhere near good enough with his finishing as he was presented with multiple glaring opportunities to score and came away from the game with no goals.

Therefore, he cost Rangers the win as finishing off just one of those three openings would have resulted in van Bronckhorst's team coming away with a 2-1 victory. It was not Morelos' best day and, hopefully, he will be able to put it behind him quickly to put in another strong performance against Dortmund in the second leg next Thursday.
