But Levein was encouraged by the second-half performance when they scored after being reduced to ten men.
And he said: “I’d like that game again, in all honestly, because I think it would have been a different outcome.
“I think we had as good chances today as I’ve ever had, coming to Ibrox.
“Allan McGregor’s had a couple of fantastic saves.
“In terms of possession there wasn’t much in it, and we had 40 minutes with ten men.
“With chances, there was nothing much in it.
“With shots on target I think was six to four
“We shot ourselves in the foot today and gave Rangers the impetus they needed early on in the match. Once we scored and got back to 3-1 you saw how nervous they were. They had the extra man and just punted it long.
“I just wish we’d had the extra man on the field for those last 20 minutes or so.
“You look at every goal that is scored, of you trace it back far enough someone has made a mistake somewhere.
“With the first goal from the free-kick, we just got it wrong.
“We’ve worked that particular situation quite well in the past so you have to take it on the chin.
“One player didn’t come out.
“For me it’s a gift
“I think they came out so far that once the offside wasn’t given there was no chance to recover.
“This game today for me was about being solid, creating opportunities and taking them and putting pressure on Rangers. We didn’t manage to get everything in the right order.
“It’s disappointing because today I felt we had a real chance of picking up three points.
“I thought our play was good enough to pick up all three points if we hadn’t gifted goals to Rangers.
“If Rangers had had to work for their goals that would have been slightly different.
“That’s disappointing for me and in the dressing room the players are exactly the same. They know themselves it was a missed opportunity.
“We’re keen to play Rangers again just to prove ourselves.”
