The Dundee manager states "Rangers had a really strong team" for the match with James Tavernier, Cyriel Dessers and Robin Propper all involved.

Docherty's men ran out 1-0 winners in the "really worthwhile exercise" which took place as Nations League football took centre stage in the football calendar.

Both clubs were without a selection of players away on international duty.

“It was good to get back and to get a game so soon after the Kilmarnock game. We both put out two strong teams and all the players, outwith those who were away on international duty, were involved.

"Rangers had a really strong team with James Tavernier, Cyriel Dessers and Robin Propper, most of their top players. Rangers were the same because we made the arrangement with them that we wanted a proper game.

“It was great to get the boys back on the grass and it was pleasing we got a result and the clean sheet, which was important. I took a full squad of about 14 and they all played.

“Scott Fraser, Seb Palmer-Houlden and Julien Vetro all got game time. They all need the minutes but it was more than that. I was able to play a strong team as well. We won 1-0 and it was really, really pleasing. It was a really worthwhile exercise.”
