Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers were denied victory today.

St Mirren Manager Alex Rae looks on during the Scottish Championship match between Rangers and St. Mirren at Ibrox Stadium on February 27, 2016 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Alex Rae hasn’t reacted well to Rangers’ latest result.

Steven Gerrard’s side were held to a 1-1 draw by Hearts at Tynecastle this afternoon, missing the chance to move top of the Scottish Premiership once again.

Alfredo Morelos rescued a point for Rangers after a shambolic bit of defending from James Tavernier led to the visitors falling behind inside six minutes.

And although Ibrox legend Rae claims that his former side were out-fought for the most part, he claims that Craig Levein’s players should be embarrassed for raising their game against the light Blues, having not won a league game at home since March 30.

By May, this point might look like a great one in the context of the Premiership title race.

But given Hearts’ recent woes, combined with their Tynecastle form, this is definitely two points dropped for Rangers rather than one gained.

Plus, it doesn’t look great when on a weekend that Celtic won 6-0, Rangers stutter for the first time since losing to the Hoops six weeks ago. It will invariably raise questions about whether Gerrard’s troops can handle the pressure of leading the race.
