The centre-back has recognised that his threat from set-pieces has yet to produce the rewards he wants this season, but he is confident that can change.

Asked whether finding the net was something he was eager to rectify, Fernandez said: “Yeah, 100 per cent. I was speaking about it with my mates the other day. It's something I want to do.

“I think when one comes, more will come. It's just getting the timing right, whether it's from set-pieces and opportunities, and finding a way to get a goal.”

After making the move from Peterborough United last season, the Nigerian international scored six goals in 33 total appearances in all competitions for his side.

The towering defender will hope his second-season breakthrough can come against Dundee as Rangers turn their attention to Saturday night’s fixture.
