Rangers came back from two goals down to win emphatically against Dundee at Ibrox to at least delay Celtic’s title party for 24 hours.
As it was, there were more than a few empty seats, and a rather soulless feel about the whole occasion. The Union Bears tried to muster – or feign - some enthusiasm, but the whole evening had the feel of a pre-season friendly, or a testimonial for a long serving but not overly popular player. He had a tough act to follow, but the on-loan Burnley youngster has impressed, and he showed the quality he has in that left foot twice in quick succession here as he created both of Dundee’s goals.
The chances of bringing Beck back on loan next term from Liverpool may be slim for Tony Docherty, but he will be desperately hoping he can persuade Burnley to allow Dodgson to come back up the road and continue his development at Dens.The injury crisis at Ibrox meant that the youngster was handed his first start for a year in a centre back pairing with Ben Davies, and his rustiness was evident.
King hasn’t caused, or even been on the pitch to cause Rangers’ defensive deficiencies over the past few weeks. But he didn’t show much here to suggest he can offer a solution to them either before going off injured late on.It will be interesting to see what Clement does in the main striker’s position at Ibrox next season once Danilo is fit, and if he brings in reinforcements during the summer.
As if to illustrate the point, he managed to divert Cantwell cross over the bar from a couple of yards late on, and brought groans from the Rangers support with his indecisiveness at times., but the goal that flew past McCracken and into his far stanchion was spectacular to watch, if more than a little fortuitous.
