Rangers came close to opening the scoring shortly after the break as Forrester and Holt were denied, while at the other end, Alloa had their first shot on target in the 60th minute.
The home team scored from the corner following the shot when Marr headed in from inside the six-yard box on the 61st minute against the run of play.
Forrester, Billy King, Wilson and O’Halloran were all denied by Gallagher, but the latter levelled, as he seen his left-footed shot following a corner find the back of the net to score his first goal for Rangers since moving from St. Johnston.
Gallagher kept out two late efforts from Tavernier to stop Rangers taking the lead, securing a big point for the team bottom of the Championship.
