Tony Doherty to turn Rangers fans against the players - McAvennie

Rangers players need to be wary of Dundee FC boss Tony Docherty turning the Ibrox crowd against them in their Scottish League Cup game on Saturday.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, ex-Celtic striker Frank McAvennie has warned Rangers that Docherty, 53, and Dundee FC won’t make it easy for them and may be able to turn the Ibrox faithful against them if things start to go poorly.

A delay in construction materials from Asia caused a delay to works on their Copland Road Stand forcing Rangers to play their opening four ‘home’ games at Hampden Park.

Fans are now set to return to the iconic ground but the Copland Road Stand will remain closed for the foreseeable future while works are ongoing.

It’s been an underwhelming start to the season for Philippe Clement’s side as they sit in third place, five points behind Celtic in the race for the Scottish Premier League title.

Rangers face Dundee FC as the reigning Scottish League Cup champions having beaten Aberdeen 1-0 in the final last December.

“They’ll beat Dundee FC but it’s not going to be easy”, McAvennie told Football Insider.

“They (Dundee FC) didn’t play well at the weekend but they’ve been playing well.

“Tony Docherty, he’s a good gaffer and he will have them fired up for it.

“He’ll be telling the players ‘get at them, get a chance’ and the fans could turn on this Rangers side and that’s what he’ll be wanting to do.

“Right from the first minute, they’ll be having a go and hopefully get the fans on Rangers’ backs which is what they’ll want so we’ll see how that one goes.”
