However, it could have been more for the visiting side after a first half in which they carved out several chances, with Robinson's side also dangerous after the break. Moult's headed opener began a dominant spell for the Fir Park side as Rangers struggled to recapture the form of their 4-0 win in Caixinha's first match in charge against Hamilton Academical. Moult fired another two efforts off target and McDonald shot too high. And, after Garner's leveller, the assistant referee's flag was raised as Moult had the ball in the net, with Bowman then denied by Foderingham. The goalkeeper foiled Moult and McDonald with great stops in quick succession and Rob Kiernan made an important clearance when Bowman threatened to get on the end of a Cadden cross.
The first half was a frustrating one for the hosts, with Martyn Waghorn booked for simulation and later sending a free-kick wide. Defenders Lee Hodson, Clint Hill and Lee Wallace did not reappear for the second half and midfielder Andy Halliday, winger Michael O'Halloran and forward Garner all came on. Garner marked his appearance with a goal, sliding in to meet Kenny Miller's cross and forcing it past keeper Craig Samson.
Emerson Hyndman, who scored his first Rangers goal against Motherwell in January, fired over from close range in stoppage time, all but confirming the draw. The result keeps tenth-placed well three points above Inverness Caledonian Thistle, who are now bottom, but Hamilton's win over St Johnstone takes Accies to within a point of Robinson's side, who host their Lanarkshire rivals on Wednesday. Rangers visit Kilmarnock the same night and by then could be 13 points behind Aberdeen if the Dons beat Inverness on Tuesday. The sides finishing second and third will enter the Europa League play-offs while, at the other end of the table, the bottom placed side will be relegated with the second bottom team meeting a Championship side in the Premiership play-off final.
