RFC55 108,714 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Third pre season in a row against them. Play behind closed doors today. Think I read it may become.an annual game as both clubs start in q1 in both European competitions. I'd imagine the team starting next week's 1st leg will start this and then a raft of changes. Don't know if the club are doing a Twitter feed or not but probably not Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakes Pal 5,568 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 No harm to TNS but why them out of all the teams out there? Basically TNS are on par with the top clubs in the Scottish Juniors, why not spread some love around by playing a game at the home of some of the more sympathetic Junior clubs, give them a nice wee financial boost with a full house? bingboyBLUE, CoopsLaud, Blumhoilann and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its behind closed doors and you arent gonna get a full house for a game against a junior team , I imagine too the main reason for the game is fitness so it makes sense to play a team who is also trying get sharp for qualifiers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be playing for fitness similar to us rather than the result. We play a game against teams in scotland then we face it becoming far more competitive, especially if crowds become involved. I'd say injuries would be likelier. Its clearly something we're comfortable with at this stage, and has been deemed successful previously for whatever specifically we want out of it.

It's just a glorified training session that follows on from training this morning. Works for both teams so why not?

If we need semi-competitive games to hone match sharpness, why not play them against clubs from those communities that are part of Rangers, spread the love and do our bit to support the lower levels of the game. I would rather we play Peterhead than a team from another league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand where you are coming from, however I am not referring to those Clubs who fought like ferrets in a sack for the right to stick the boot into us first, fuck them indeed, however there are many communities in Scotland with local teams who would turn a visit from Rangers into a gala day.

Yeah injuries could happen anytime but I think theres more chance of scottish junior teams having taigs in their team that would love a chance at putting a tav or morelos out of action markem and magic8ball 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMckee 3,420 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Did we not draw to these the other year when Pedro was in charge? Remember a lot of people in a huff about it.

TNS are far better than teams in the Scottish Juniors, they would be the equivalent of a bottom of the table Championship side or top of the table League 1 side and their players mostly wouldn't give a shit about the Old Firm so wouldn't be like most Scottish teams that would have at least a tarrier or two in them who would be out to hurt our players.

I will take your word about the standard of TNS, and your point about idiots possibly trying to injure our players. I am just curious as to how the link with TNS became established.
