Rangers were beaten by Dundee in a bounce game during the international break.
Tony Docherty has revealed a 14-man squad of his players travelled for a friendly against Rangers at Auchenhowie on Wednesday, October 9.
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.
The Dundee boss told the Daily Record: “We also got a bounce game against Rangers at Auchenhowie on Wednesday.

“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.”
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!
