Cyriel Dessers has revealed what Barry Ferguson told his Rangers players at half-time against Dundee.
The Ibrox side went in at the break 2-1 down.
Goals from Simon Murray and Joe Shaughnessy had Tony Docherty's men ahead, although the latter sliced the ball into his own net towards the end of the opening 45 to half the deficit.
Despite Rangers being behind in the match, caretaker boss Ferguson's message at the break remained wholly positive, according to Dessers: "I think all of you can imagine something about what happened at half-time," said the striker.

"But I think there's always a time and a moment to do that, and this was definitely the time and the moment.
"But he ended up saying like, 'Hey, guys, we're still in the game, and there's still 45 minutes to play', and like I said, we show a lot of character, but it would be nice if we can also win these games more comfortably instead of having to fight and keep believing until the last minute."
Rangers soon went 3-1 down after half-time but rallied tremendously to emerge 4-3 victors.
It was a particularly eventful evening for Dessers, who had a number of opportunities to score. The Nigerian frontman registered a hefty 12 attempts on goal throughout the match.
Things didn't look to be going his way until the dying embers when he expertly controlled a ball from over the top and dinked it past Trevor Carson: "I know that that I'm going to create chances, and I'm going to get chances," he said.
"Then it's just like keep your head into the game, be ready for the next one and on Saturday it fell and I couldn't be more happy."
