Emmanuel Fernandez insists Rangers will continue to “fight and fight and fight” to keep their William Hill Premiership title hopes alive following their 2-2 draw with 10-man Livingston on Sunday.

Fernandez reduced the deficit in the 81st minute with a thundering strike and Mikey Moore restored parity with three minutes remaining but Danny Rohl’s side could not find a winner in nine minutes of stoppage time.

Rangers are four points behind leaders Hearts and two ahead of next weekend’s visitors Celtic, who have two games in hand over the top two.

Asked if the Govan side need to show that type of comeback character in the last 10 league games of the season, the 24-year-old defender agreed, saying: “There’s 30 points to play for and I feel like we’ve shown character to come back in many games this season.

“And we showed character to come back to this stage where we are in the season, and we’ve got to fight and fight and fight and keep hunting.

“I could feel the fire in the players’ bellies in my team and I know there’s a lot to come from us and we have just got to stick together and keep going.

“We were 2-0 down, we show good fight to come back.

“I know we’ll be disappointed about this, but there’s 10 games to go, and we have just got to keep fighting.”

Rangers came from behind twice last week to beat Hearts 4-2 at Ibrox and the former Peterborough centre-back “100 per cent” acknowledged the importance of drawing first blood in games.

He said: “We don’t want to be in these moments and games, we don’t want to be behind.

“We want to be ahead and we want to keep going and going and getting more goals and more goals.

“But if this happens in games, we just got to keep going and keep fighting.

“And sometimes when you go through moments like this, you have got to find a way to get back into the game and that’s what we did on Sunday.

“Things like this happen in football, it’s a long season, and results sometimes don’t go your way, and moments sometimes don’t go your way.

“But I think we showed good character to come back into this game and we’ve shown that we are a team and we showed that we’ve got a lot more to come and a lot of moments to come as well.”
