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 Palace 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, alarm sounds would have been going off inside Philippe Clement’s head when it comes to another number.
McCoist was famous for wearing 9 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 no, a far bigger concern for Clement - as it has been all summer - is a number 6. And it’s not just football hipsters that will understand why.
