As the Rangers players left the pitch at the end of a goalless opening half that contained a whole lot of encouragement, Philippe Clement walked to his hobbling centre-back, Leon Balogun, to get a prognosis.

The family had been told her prognosis was "a poor one" and palliative care was needed, so the family were "to say their goodbyes".

That prognosis seemed laughably misguided for most of the intervening decades.

Wearing a coat and tie and a pair of blue jeans, he stared into the television cameras and was unflinchingly blunt about his prognosis.
