Unseen hero keeps Dundee Utd on terms against Rangers | OneFootball

Jack Walton preserved Dundee Utd's point with a reflex stop in the fourth minute, setting the tone for a 1-1 draw against Rangers.

Early on he sprang right to push away Lawrence Shankland's effort from the centre of the box, a sharp read that steadied The Arabs against an aggressive start.

He then got down low to turn Ryan Naderi's drive away (14.). Soon after, he clawed out the forward's glancing header towards the bottom corner (29.), keeping United in a compact shape when the visitors ramped up the crossing.

After the restart he stayed busy, first tipping over Emmanuel Fernandez's header from the crowd (51.). Moments later he stood tall to palm Thelo Aasgaard's rising strike from range into safety (51.), buying his back four time to reset.

The goalkeeper finished with six saves, five of them in the box, a clean read on Rangers' cut-backs and aerial deliveries. That shot-stopping allowed United to protect their lead and then the draw once parity arrived late in the first half of the second period (56.).

With this display, United visit Hearts next in the Premiership. Rangers head to Jagiellonia in the Europa League before resuming domestic duty.
