Rangers were held to a draw at bottom placed Wycombe who snatched their 9th draw from 11 games.
The home side shook second placed Rangers with a dramatic 26-minute opener from midfielder Matt Bloomfield. Both sides struggled to cope with a howling gale, but a moment of skill by striker Craig Faulconbridge to aid recent signing Nathan Tyson in getting clear brought about a welcome goal.
Defender Clarke Carlisle dispensed to counter the situation, the ball ran loose to the former Ipswich youngster who calmly placed the ball into the gaping net.
Incredibly, just four minutes later, the bottom placed Wanderers had doubled their lead.
The impressive new signing took advantage of freedom on the left to square his pass perfectly into the path of Faulconbridge who powerfully smashed the ball past keeper Lee Camp, for his first goal of the season.
Obviously stunned, Rangers rallied with Marc Bircham arrowing a 30 yard free kick just over the crossbar, then moments later home keeper Steve Williams held a snap shot from the edge of the area.
With tempers between the two sides rising, referee Atkinson used great discretion minutes before the break when hostilities threatened between Wycombe's Tyson and visiting defender Carlisle. A yellow card was shown to both players although both sets of supporters were expecting red.
Just 60 seconds after the restart Rangers began there fight back as Kevin Gallen hit his 16th goal of the season. In urgent need to dampen down the visitors drive towards an equaliser, Wycombe's Faulcombridge came close to easing the home fans nerves with a rare header that slipped just wide.
A wind-assisted equaliser arrived on 68 minutes thanks to former Wycombe youngster Martin Rowlands, his 25-yard lob drifting over a stationary Wycombe keeper.
Williams managed to redeem himself later as Rangers applied more pressure; making two superb saves to deny the advancing Gallen.
