Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Couldn't see a thread and not yet confirmed on official website (so far as I could see) however Evening Times reporting we will play Spurs. RANGERS will warm-up for their shot at Scottish Cup glory with a bounce game against Tottenham next month. Mark Warburton’s side have a three week break between their final league fixture of the campaign against St Mirren on Sunday and their Hampden showdown with Hibernian on May 21. It has left the Gers boss with a problem to solve as he looks to ensure his players are in the right shape mentally and physically as they bid for a third medal this term. Warburton will give the Light Blues a couple of days off after they face the Saints before attentions at Murray Park turn to the final. Rangers played a pre-season friendly with Spurs at their Enfield base and will now return south of the border to gear up for the cup clash, with the likes of Martyn Waghorn and Harry Forrester set to feature if possible as they continue on the road to recovery after knee and leg injuries respectively.

We Will Follow Rangers 12,916 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Pochettino's football style is similar to Warburtons, its a good time for us to have close links with Spurs, for things like this its excellent experience for our players, little skeptical about Rangers becoming a loan destination from epl sides though, we need players further developed in their careers than what we've had and those were considered the cream.

Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,681 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 That is actually clever playing a decent standard club before the final should keep our players in great condition. Albeit I would rather it be at Auchenhowie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
