RANGERS boss brings young French defender Clinton Nsiala into his starting line-up as he faces another seismic away clash vs Dundee at Dens Park.
His side take a WOEFUL away record to Tayside on Thursday with Scotland in the grip of a big freeze – and his own team doing the same away from Ibrox this season.
They’ve won just THREE of their ten trips this term, drawing their last two away days at Motherwell and Hibs too.
And though they’re unbeaten at Ibrox domestically, they’ve lost FOUR on the road – at Celtic, St Mirren, Kilmarnock and Aberdeen.
The Belgian boss simply NEEDS to see form improve away from home.
Last season’s late call-offs and pitch nightmare at Dens – officially known as the Scotfoam Arena – seem a thing of the past and the Dark Blues’ record at home isn’t much different from their away days.
They ran their Tangerine neighbours close on derby day – hours after Rangers stunned Celtic – but got back to winning ways in their big rivals clash with St Johnstone.
Sky cameras will be in attendance again, hoping for better fortunes than their two aborted trips for transmission last season.
The teams even met recently on league business – just 19 days between full-time at Ibrox and kick-off on Tayside.
Here’s how you can tune in – if, of course, the game gets the go ahead in the frosty January weather.
