Rangers fell to a disappointing 2-1 friendly defeat at the hands of Birmingham City on Tuesday.
The Light Blues trailed by two goals at the break, following a lacklustre 45 minutes display against the English third-tier side.
Philippe Clement’s men responded better in the second half by showing more attacking intent and penetrating the Birmingham goal.
Scott Wright, who’s subject of transfer interest from Sheffield Wednesday, did pull a goal back for the Scottish Premiership giants amidst an array of subsitutions - but it ultimately wasn’t enough.

The result leaves Rangers winless from their three pre-season fixtures so far.
And with Union Berlin up next, supporters are fearing the worst ahead of the league campaign beginning against Heart of Midlothian the following weekend. Especially having witnessed their title rivals, Celtic, thrash DC United and beat Manchester City over the past week.
Many Rangers fans took to social media to vent their anger at the performance in the Midlands - and one key theme was evident.
One commented: "Badly need a striker, badly need a winger, badly need a midfielder, badly need a CB, badly need a new full 10 (not included super Jack)."
Another fed-up punter wrote: "Need some signings in. Still can't see Clement's tactics.
While a third said: "Friendly or not, tonight has shown we need 11 new players, first team players that is." 
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
