Rangers boss Gio van Bronckhorst secured a Hampden return with a win over Dundee but celebrations were hard to come by in Govan.
The insipid 1-0 victory over the Championship side led them into the last four of the Premier Sports Cup, but it only fuelled growing agitation over how Rangers are currently playing. The two key gripes voiced by the Ibrox public surround the displays in their Champions League pastings and the uninspired domestic form which has left punters vexed. Despite a bulging injury list, Van Bronckhorst understands a trip to Hampden and being only two points behind Celtic are only cruxes IF the displays on the pitch improve.
His time in charge includes a thrilling run to the Europa League, a first Scottish Cup win in 13 years and ending an 11-year absence from the Champions League. But operational highlights don't tell the full story and the Dutchman is facing a battle to win back hearts and minds as the boos rained down on him on Wednesday night.
