Rangers ramp up their pre-season campaign this weekend as they welcome EPL giants Manchester United to Scotland for a friendly clash at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on Saturday.
The side’s first clash since being drawn together in the UEFA Champions League group stages back in 2010, the footballing giants will go head-to-head once more on Saturday in a battle of Britain style friendly that is sure to draw a big crowd to the Scottish capital.
