Cyriel Dessers kept Rangers’ Scottish Premiership title challenge alive as he headed in a late winner against St Mirren.

Trailing Celtic by three points, Philippe Clement’s side knew only a win would do as they look to reclaim the trophy from their Old Firm rivals.

St Mirren’s James Bolton poked the ball into his own net to put the visitors ahead but Mikael Mandron sent a brilliant header in off the post to pull them level almost instantly.

Stephen Robinson’s side had their chances before Dessers rose to head home from James Tavernier’s cross in what could prove a pivotal goal in an exciting title battle.

The result pulled Rangers level with Celtic ahead of their game at Dundee later on Sunday, while St Mirren remain fifth as they chase a European place for next season.
