The last game of the 2023/24 season at home for Rangers against Dundee will have an equally as frost reception as the first some 10 months ago.
After losing on day one to Kilmarnock, it took a change of manager and the appointment of Philippe Clement for the gap to be closed, however, Michael Beale left him with just too much to do.
With an injury list now in double figures, this is your Rangers team to face Dundee with the Scottish Premiership title almost certainly staying across the city.
Rangers team news v Dundee confirmed
Against Celtic, Jack Butland was once again outstanding and with a 9/10 rating was Rangers man of the match.
The 30-year old not only deserves an England call-up, but he also deserves a lot more from those playing in front of him.
In defence, Clement is having to pick whoever isn’t in the treatment room.
James Tavernier let an otherwise solid display at Parkhead down by switching off for Celtic’s second.
He had time to put Daizen Maeda under pressure but let him get to the edge of the box and put a cross in.
It’s these mistakes that see fans call him out, even if he has played well.
The centre-half pairing of Ben Davies and Leon King isn’t exactly one you would want to build a team around and their record of played eight, lost four, isn’t exactly awe inspiring.
Ridvan Yilmaz, despite only being half fit, looks like he has lost none of the form that saw him play a key role in Rangers return to the title race and his presence in the starting XI is a huge boost ahead of the Scottish Cup final.
Midfield, again, almost picks itself too.
Nicolas Raskin looked sharp against Celtic and brought a much-needed dynamism.
Mohamed Diomande has been disappointing of late and needs to start dominating this type of game if he is to justify the £4.3m that Rangers will be paying for him in the summer.
With Tom Lawrence out injured, Todd Cantwell – albeit belatedly – gets the chance to prove that he is the best number 10 at the club and that the attack should be built around him.
Can he park his ego and follow the gaffer’s instructions though?
This is your XI for the last time at Ibrox this season, in what has been a rollercoaster ride with more downs than ups:
Dujon Sterling is also out so, Ross McCausland comes back into the starting line-up.
He caused Greg Taylor a few problems at Parkhead, but with no end product, several good opportunities were wasted.
Whether it is an ability or confidence issue, the 20-year old has to sort it out if he wants to play as often next season.
Other than Davies, Fabio Silva was as good as any outfield player at the weekend and seems to be adapting to the left-wing role that he is unaccustomed to.
Cyriel Dessers, as he has done for most of the season, leads the line.
A good performance and a good result and, you never know., stranger things have happened
