Boab 73 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Gers Provide A Masters Class A squad of Rangers 'veterans' proved they are still Simply The Best when they travelled to the Far East and were victorious in the Hong Kong Soccer Sevens Masters Tournament. The Rangers All Stars, as they were known, featured Derek Ferguson, Mark Walters, Andy Goram, Gordon Durie, Dave McPherson, Ian Ferguson, Scott Nisbet, John Brown and Gary McSwegan. The tournament started on Friday, May 23 and the former Ibrox stars hit the ground running with a sensational 2-0 Group D win over a Yau Lee League Select side, the seven minute games clearly suiting the boys in Light Blue! Further victories from their section against Shanghai Shooters (1-0), Kowloon Cricket Club (3-0) and Blake Garden (6-1) took the Ibrox legends through to the quarter-final stage on Sunday. A 1-0 win against the hosts, the Hong Kong Football Club Masters, and another 2-0 triumph over Team Bondi secured a place in the ten-minute final and Mel Hood Rangers All Stars in Hong KongAll Stars were to suffer a 3-0 thrashing as Rangers lifted the trophy in style. The club also sent a squad of under-18 players to compete in the prestigious Hong Kong Philips Lighting International Soccers Sevens Youth Tournament which was held alongside the Masters event. The Murray Park starlets beat Group D opponents Shanghai Shooters (2-0), Eastleigh (2-0) and Happy Valley (1-0) to reach the last eight stage. A 2-0 over Yau Lee Select clinched a semi-final place against Old Firm rivals Celtic but a 1-0 defeat in a typically hard fought game took the Hoops through to the final where they lost 2-0 to Premiership side Aston Villa. http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Ne...1320375,00.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancedeangers1 287 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Pretty impressive defensive displays it seems by both the Legends and the youths, only 2 goals conceded between them. Similarities with the first team?? I wonder if they are also getting a bashing about negative football?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
