Kane Hemmings spent his childhood dreaming of scoring a winner in front of a full house at Ibrox - but never considered it might be for Dundee. Thats the prospect he is faced with as he returns there to face Rangers in the Scottish Cup this Saturday and he admits leaving the former champions was the best thing he could have done.Hemmings will spearhead Dundees attack in the quarter-final tie live on Sky Sports 2 as he takes on his former employers almost three years after leaving them. The match represents a fresh opportunity to make his mark at a venue where he had high hopes of impressing as a youngster.Although he was born and raised in the Midlands, he was brought up supporting Aston Villa and Rangers - the latter because of his mums partner at the time.When he later signed for them in 2008, Hemmings showed promise as he became a regular scorer in the clubs youth sides. Hemmings also scored 24 times for Cowdenbeath as he was the Scottish Championship Player of the Year in 2013/14 Yet when he stepped up into the senior team - sampling European football in the Champions League qualifiers against Malmo then playing SPL and Third Division games - he struggled.Hemmings struck only once in 10 Rangers appearances in a match against Queens Park and consequently failed to secure a new contract.In the time since, he has won a Championship Player of the Year award after 24 goals in a season at Cowdenbeath, had a spell with Barnsley and netted 20 times this term for Dundee.While Hemmings didnt reach the heights he wanted to at Rangers, the 23-year-old has warned their fans hes a far better player these days than the one they used to cheer on. He said: My mums partner for six or seven years was a big Rangers fan so I was actually brought up supporting the club and I was desperate to do well for them.But now I want to go there, hopefully score and win the game - not just because were playing against Rangers but because weve a chance to get to the semi-finals of the cup.Theres a day at Hampden up for grabs so I want to go there and win and if I score all the better.Things could definitely have worked out differently for me at Rangers but its just one of those things that they didnt. Dundee manager Paul Hartley says theyll have to be at their best to beat Rangers in the Scottish Cup quarter-finals I dont really look back at that with any regret. In the end, leaving was probably the best thing that could have happened to me.If I had stayed, I maybe wouldnt have played whereas I got a good year under my belt at Cowdenbeath and that allowed me to get a move to Barnsley.I felt I progressed 10 times over as a player while I was there compared with what I was before and Im not sure that would have happened had I stayed at Rangers.I have scored at Ibrox before but it was in the Youth Cup and Ive never done it in a first-team game so it would be nice to change that this weekend. Hemmings only scored once at Rangers before leaving the club in 2013 I should have done it in front of a full house a couple of times already. I missed a couple of sitters against Stirling Albion and I do regret the fact I didnt put at least one of them away.If either of them had gone in the back of the net it could have been a completely different situation for me now at Rangers but they never went in.Im a believer that everything happens for a reason. Things have worked out well for me away from Ibrox instead and it is strange how things go in football sometimes.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Giants coach Ben McAdoo will catch up with old friends when he returns to Lambeau Field.Odell Beckham Jr. just wants to make more catches.Maybe Beckham will start making headlines again for his receiving talents when the Giants visit the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night. This week, the chatter around the league concerning Beckham has mainly been about the wideouts tantrums. McAdoo wants Beckham to channel that frustration into production .No, I like him as a salty, competitive player. Thats when he plays at his best, McAdoo said.That hasnt been the case the last two weeks for the Giants, who lost to Washington on Sept. 25, and Minnesota on Monday night.Now comes a quick turnaround for another tough road trip to face the rested Packers, who are coming off a Week 4 bye.McAdoos history with Green Bay offers a unique perspective on the matchup.McAdoo was an assistant coach for eight seasons under Packers coach Mike McCarthy, spending six years overseeing the tight ends and his final two years at Lambeau mentoring quarterback Aaron Rodgers. McAdoo moved on to the Giants in 2014 to become offensive coordinator before getting his first shot as a head coach this season.McAdoo is still familiar with some of the Packers personnel, and what McCarthy likes to do. Likewise, some of the Giants offensive looks bear similarities to how the Packers operate.But you have to be good on yourself and scout on both ends and realize its been a few years since Ben was here, Rodgers said. Weve changed some things around.What hasnt changed is the appreciation that McCarthy and Rodgers had for McAdoos time in Green Bay. Expect McAdoo to receive some good-natured ribbing, too, on Sunday.Hes also famous for his layering -- you know the short sleeves under long sleeves under short sleeves, always appreciate that about him, Rodgers quipped. Hes quick with a quip right back at you and they can be cutting.Other notes and things to watch on Sunday night:EYES ON ODELL: Maybe this is the game that Beckham starts having fun again. The star wideout at midweek said in an interview with ESPN that he was not having fun anymore with football.But Beckhams frustrations wont have an impact on how the Packers prepare for the receiver, McCarthy said.Were focusing on the video, what each players strengths are ... Just really focussing on their schemes, he said.dddddddddddd.The Packers pass defense has been porous the last couple weeks without top cornerback Sam Shields (concussion), allowing career highs to receivers to Detroits Marvin Jones and Minnesotas Stefon Diggs over the last two games.AIR FORCE: Beckham isnt the only threat in the receiving corps, with rookie Sterling Shepard and veteran Victor Cruz also off to good starts with quarterback Eli Manning. The production, though, hasnt translated into points. The Giants are sixth in total yardage and 27th in scoring.Thats just turnovers and obviously had a few games (when) we got in the red zone and werent able to get enough touchdowns and turned the ball over down there, Manning said. Weve got to hold on to the ball and we just have to finish the drives.AIR FORCE, PART 2: Packers receiver Jordy Nelson seems to be acclimating into the offense just fine after missing the 2015 season with a knee injury. He has four touchdown catches in the first three games, though Nelsons timing with Rodgers really seemed to return in a 34-27 win over Detroit before the bye. Nelson caught two scores in that game.Keep an eye on whether the Giants will have Eli Apple (hamstring) and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (groin) available against the Packers after both cornerbacks missed the Vikings game. Otherwise, Nelson could have another big day.REST STOP: The Packers had key defenders return to practice this week following a bye, including linebacker Clay Matthews (ankle/hamstring) and safety Morgan Burnett (groin). It should only strengthen a run defense spearheaded by lineman Mike Daniels thats holding opponents to a league-best 42.7 yards per game. The Giants are rushing for 93.8 yards per game, 19th in the league, and the availability of RB Rashad Jennings because of a thumb injury has been in question.PASS RUSH: While pass coverage has been a problem for the Packers, the defense is getting good pressure on quarterbacks. Green Bay has a deep rotation of edge rushers led by Matthews and veteran Julius Peppers. Linebacker Nick Perry has a team-high 3 1/2 sacks.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
