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.
It took a late Wayne Rooney winner to separate the two sides last time they met, with the England striker tucking away an 87th-minute penalty at Ibrox to send the travelling Red Devils fans wild on a cold November night in Glasgow.
But what happened to both starting XI’s from that night? We take a look at where all 22 players are now, almost 14 years on from the game ahead of Saturday’s friendly.at Murrayfield.
