Tony Docherty, the manager of Dundee, is “looking forward” to playing Rangers at home after watching his team lose 1-0 to Benfica on Thursday.
Docherty thinks they did a decent job in the Europa League last-16 match and was at Ibrox to carry out a reconnaissance mission on Sunday’s opponents in the Premiership. Docherty is aware that his squad may cause Philippe Clement’s team problems if they can repeat the effort they showed on Wednesday, when they defeated Aberdeen 1-0. His club is currently playing well and is vying for a spot in the top six.
“You have to keep things in perspective. They were playing against a really good opponent, and I thought they did a pretty good job representing themselves and Scottish football,” Docherty said. They will be disappointed, but that’s what happens when you play for Rangers Football Club; you simply attempt to go on to the next game. There is nothing I can do about them. All I can control is our team, and we’re in a strong position and eager to play at home, where we click well with the supporters and have been performing well lately.
