What the Rangers pundits said as Kris Boyd admits 'absolute disaster' averted but performance still miles off

From staring disaster in the face, Rangers produced a stunning stoppage time turnaround to leave Aberdeen shell shocked at Pittodrie.

The Dons were on course for a first home win over the Light Blues in six years. After Fashion Sakala had fired the visitors in front, the hosts found plenty of what was missing against Celtic on Saturday to rally and get themselves ahead. First, Duk whipped a free-kick past an unsure Allan McGregor, then Leighton Clarkson lashed a fine effort into the far corner after the break to send the home fans wild.

By the time the full-time whistle went, however, they were dazed and confused after Scott Arfield inflicted not one but two late sucker punches in an extraordinary finish in the north east. He pounced on a Kelle Roos error to level the game before another instinctive finish to win it and inflict what must have felt like a sickening shot to the solar plexus for a gutted Jim Goodwin.
