ALLY MCCOIST's favourite tune rang out at Ibrox before kick-off.
Hell's Bells by AC/DC boomed out the tannoy as a wee tribute to a Rangers legend's OBE at Windsor Castle 24 hours earlier.
Surprisingly, the highest it ever got to in the charts was top seven.
But after last night's distressing Europa League defeat to Lyon, alarms would've been going off inside Philippe Clement's head when it comes to another number.
McCoist was famous for wearing nine on his back during his own glory days in Govan.
And of course, the Belgian boss would love a striker of his ilk now.
But a far bigger concern for Clement as it has been all summer is a number six.
And it's not just football hipsters who will understand why.
This Rangers side badly needs a dictator. In musical parlance, an orchestrator in the middle of the park. A sitter, an anchor man whatever you want to call it they're desperate for one.
And they have been since John Lundstram left in the summer.
Say what you like about the Scouser, in terms of what he did or didn't achieve during his time at Ibrox.
But when it came to controlling games of football? He proved, even at Europa League level, that he was more than adept at it.
None more so than on their run to the final in Seville just over two years ago.
This isn't a criticism of young Connor Barron, who had that gig against the French outfit last night. Gers' little number eight has enjoyed an impressive start to his Ibrox career.
