You have probably got more chance of seeing Pedro Caixinha in the Illustrated Guide to Rangers Greats than you have of glimpsing Eduardo Herrera on the team lines.
The Mexican striker, who was one of the erstwhile Rangers manager’s marquee signings in the summer, has made just one start for the Govan club.
Having cost £1.5 million, it’s hardly been one of the most rewarding investments and Herrera knows he has a lot to do to justify the hefty price tag.
Whether he gets that chance remains to be seen and the dismissal of the man who brought him from Mexico to Glasgow has only heightened the sense of uncertainty.
Herrera remains determined to make an impact, though.
“I’m aware that I haven’t shown what I am capable of but sometimes it is really difficult when you don’t have the minutes to show it,” said the 29-year-old.
“When you have five, three or one minute to come on in a game, it’s hard. Hopefully I can get a proper game soon and show what I can do.
“You always have to work hard with all the managers you have and Graeme [Murty] has given me confidence. He’s shown that he likes me.
“Maybe he doesn’t know me that much, that’s why I haven’t had a proper start, but he always takes me into consideration for the games and I have been a sub in many games. But I came here to get more minutes and I’m looking forward to getting that.
“The important thing here is not to be down, but to keep working hard and have the mentality and the patience to reverse these kind of situations.
“I’ve played for many years and I have turned around situations like this before, so I’m just waiting for the opportunity and working really hard to get that opportunity to get more minutes and be an important player.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
