Rangers Rob 29 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Ottawa Sun - Famous Scottish team Rangers FC to play Ottawa Furyhttp://www.ottawasun.com/2014/06/05/fury-fc-tfc-working-out-loan-deal-for-richter-sourcesOne of the world’s most famous soccer clubs will visit Ottawa Fury FC at the newly-opened TD Place this summer, the Fury announced Thursday.Scottish midfielder Nicki Paterson was fittingly on hand as Fury president John Pugh announced the international friendly July 23 would feature Ottawa and the Glasgow, Scotland-based Rangers FC, a team that plays in the Scottish Championship.It’s the first major announcement for an event coming up in the NASL fall season as the team moves from Carleton University to the new digs at Lansdowne. The team hopes to pack the place for both the friendly and the opening game at TD Place a few days before on July 20.In a season where every first is a historic moment, the Rangers coming to town is a big deal for Fury FC. The Scottish club is the world’s most successful domestic club having won more titles and trebles than any other and have a massive contingent, both in Europe and around the world, including 27 chapters in Canada, one of which is in Ottawa. Rangers FC last won the Scottish Premier League title in 2011, their third n a row. But those wins are just the latest in decades of success. Since the club was founded in 1872, Rangers FC has won the league title 54 times, the Scottish Cup 33 times and the Scottish League Cup 27 times.Stewart Melvin, secretary of the Ottawa chapter of Rangers FC supporters, called the announcement a “dream of a lifetime come true.”“We are all now anxiously looking forward to the game to watch the famous Glasgow Rangers in our home city,” Melvin said.While the benefits to the Fury operation are obvious, Fury coach Marc Dos Santos said it was hard for him to talk about the marketing side of this kind of exhibition game.“I can only talk about it as the coach,” Dos Santos said, meaning his squad would approach the match like any other.The team wouldn’t be happy to just come out and play for the fun of hosting an international club, he said.“We want to win,” said the ultra-competitive Dos Santos.Paterson — who brought some Irish backup in the form of teammate and team captain Richie Ryan — said it would be a big thrill to play such a well-know squad in his new home city.“I’ve played against them before,” he said of the Rangers. “It should be really good.”Tickets for the friendly go on sale Saturday at OttawaFuryFC.com.
