"Totally not relieved," Ibrox manager Philippe Clement told BBC Scotland in the immediate aftermath of his side's last-gasp draw at Aberdeen, who have now taken four points from the Govan club in two meetings this term.

Bojan Miovski's 11th goal of the season looked set to give the Pittodrie men successive victories over their visitors, which would have resulted in Celtic ending the weekend a point further clear at the top despite their late draw at home to Motherwell.

Brendan Rodgers said that result felt "like a defeat". No more than 24 hours later, there was a similar tune coming from his Old Firm counterpart in the Granite City.

"We're more disappointed [than relieved] that we didn't get three deserved points," said Clement, whose side are now eight points off top spot with a game to spare on leaders Celtic.

But with a Viaplay Cup final against Aberdeen on the horizon, a Europa League group to navigate through, and still more than half the league season remaining, the Rangers manager is "totally not busy" with the deficit his side has to claw back.

Despite his players showing a "very good" reaction, Clement's immediate concerns will be with how easily his defence was cut open in the first half and his attack's profligacy throughout.

"I wasn't happy with the first 10-15 minutes," he added. "We weren't sharp enough in the duels and we know how hectic it can be here, but we took total domination of the game and we had by far the better chances.

"Everybody pushed until the last second to get this deserved point, and even the three points, and that's the mentality I want to see. I know from experience that the season is a marathon."

The late rescue act preserved Clement's undefeated start as Rangers boss - his record now stands at six wins and two draws.

Former Ibrox striker Billy Dodds told BBC Sportsound: "That was probably one of their poorest performances under Clement, but he will be pleased that they kept going at it when they were 1-0 down.

"It's a positive Clement can grip on to and there is something building at Rangers. They are digging in when they need to."

Aberdeen left 'gutted' after late drama

While Clement left Pittodrie a frustrated figure, Barry Robson was totally "gutted".

But for a daft and needless - albeit slight - tug from Stefan Gartenmann on Connor Goldson, which gave away the added-time penalty, Robson would have become the first Aberdeen manager in 30 years to win back-to-back league games against Rangers.

The Dons boss questioned the decision to send referee Nick Walsh to the monitor, adding that the away side had been "clever" in winning the spot-kick.

"Dante Polvara's been blocked," Robson told BBC Scotland. "They are telling us blocking is a foul as well. You need to check everything. It's a tiny little tug, but that's the way we are going with football - it's not good."

Despite the late blow, the Aberdeen manager hailed how his side "pressed, counter pressed and transitioned" in an excellent first-half display, but he conceded his team "couldn't play at that tempo for 90 minutes" as they soaked up pressure after the break.

In four games against Rangers as a manager, Robson now has two wins, a draw and a defeat - a record that will only instil further belief in the Pittodrie club when they face Sunday's opponent's in next month's final at Hampden.

"Aberdeen will take the approach from this [for the final] - and in particular the way they played in the first half," former Dons captain Willie Miller said on Sportsound.

"But what they need for the final is that type of performance for a longer period of time. They've got a chance and have a goalscorer in Miovski who takes his chances."
