One more draw: Rangers' grim away form mirrors historic low points

Rangers are one draw away from matching their worst-ever season in games away from Ibrox.

Philippe Clement is under serious pressure after yet another dismal day on Rangers' travels when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Dundee.

Not only are Rangers now 15 points behind Celtic, but they have collected 12 points less than the champions on their travels....and played a game more.

Rangers have won three times away, drawn four times and lost on four occasions too.

And one more draw will see them match the same tally as their two worst-ever seasons...and one of them was 99 years ago.

Rangers' lowest-ever finish in the top division came in 1925/26 where they finished in sixth place behind Celtic, Airdrie, Hearts, St Mirren and Motherwell and two points ahead of Cowdenbeath.

They drew five games away from home and lost seven, but they managed seven wins.

But in 1985/86, Rangers managed to lose ten of the 18 games on the road.

They won just three all season and also drew five times. Jock Wallace's side would finish in fifth, behind Celtic, Hearts, Dundee United and Aberdeen and Graeme Souness would take over at the end of the season.

And another Rangers draw this season would see them match those miserable seasons in the number of stalemates away from Ibrox.
