On this day 20 years ago Rangers fielded a team without a single Scotsman for the first time in their history.
St Johnstone were the visitors to Ibrox on March 4 2000 as Dick Advocaat selected 11 foreigners. In total, 10 nationalities were on show.
A crowd of 49,907 watched a Rangers lineup of Stefan Klos, Lorenzo Amoruso, Arthur Numan, Andrei Kanchelskis, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Rod Wallace, Jörg Albertz, Claudio Reyna, Tony Vidmar, Seb Rozental and Tugay.
It was a rare appearance for Seb Rozental, whose Rangers career was derailed by injury. The likes of Klos, Numan, van Bronckhorst and Albertz, however, were household names.
Seventh-placed St Johnstone weren't expected to take anything from the league leaders, but they left Ibrox with a surprise 0-0 draw.
Advocaat threw on some homegrown talent in the shape of Neil McCann and Billy Dodds, but to no avail.
The Daily Record's match report said: "Dick Advocaat's players were not lacking invention, nor were they short on industry, but try as they might they could find no way through." Advocaat himself said: "I hope someone has counted how many chances we had. I don't think we've ever had so many chances in a game."
Indeed, the home side had 27 shots with 13 on target, but could find no way past a determined St Johnstone defence, with former Rangers defender Gary Bollan being named man of the match.
Advocaat added: "Yes, I was angered by the way some of the chances were missed.
"I don't think they missed them because they were thinking we'll get another chance later. I don't know what was wrong.
"But it's not for me to be angry. The players have to be angry with each other on the pitch. That might make somebody else a little bit sharper.
"They should try to wind each other up a little bit more during a game. but they don't seem to do that. They are quite friendly with each other."
It was the first time the Saints had kept a clean sheet at Ibrox since April 1971, having lost 28 consecutive league games at Ibrox in that time.
The frustration felt at Ibrox wouldn't last though. The following day, second-placed Celtic lost 2-1 to Hibs thanks to goals from Pat McGinlay and a young Kenny Miller.
Three days after that, a late Rod Wallace goal secured a vital 1-0 win for Rangers at Celtic Park. That result gave Rangers a 12-point advantage, which eventually grew to 21 as they won the title with ease.
