Milne was part of the last Dundee side to beat Glasgow Rangers.

Steven Milne has told Dundee’s current squad to go to Ibrox with plenty of confidence that they can end the club’s 15 year wait for a win over Rangers on Saturday, the Daily Record reports.
Milne was a part of the Dark Blues side’s last victory over the Gers when he and Claudio Caniggia got on the scoresheet to claim a famous 2-0 win back in March 2001.
While Paul Hartley’s men are currently second bottom in the Scottish Premiership going into today’s game, they have some momentum on their side having won their last two, and having not conceded a goal in either fixture.
And Milne has urged the current crop to go into the game with a positive attitude if they hope to get the better of Mark Warburton’s side.

“Rangers have not been firing on all cylinders and probably haven’t done as much as they or their fans would have expected,” he said, as reported by the Record.
“If I was playing for Dundee, then I would be going to Ibrox with confidence and travelling with belief that we could get a positive result.
“Dundee don’t have to worry about the supporters or the occasion. You need luck at times but most importantly you need to take your chances when they come along.”
Before the international break, Rangers had been fairly inconsistent, having won just one of their previous four games in all competitions.
Their final fixture before the break had seen them come away from the division’s bottom side with a 1-1 draw. And with the narrative of the game arguably suggesting that the points being shared was a fair outcome, Dundee can surely take the kind of confidence that Milne hopes to see to Ibrox into the clash.
