Rangers are set to welcome Premier League side West Ham United to Ibrox for a pre-season friendly, giving fans a chance to see how the Light Blues are shaping up ahead of the new campaign.
Pre-season friendlies against top English opposition are always a decent gauge of where a squad is at, and this one should draw plenty of interest from supporters keen to get their first proper look at the team in action.
So how can you watch it? The match is being broadcast live, meaning fans who cannot make it to Ibrox in person will still be able to catch all the action from their couch.
Rangers TV will be streaming the game live for supporters, both in the UK and overseas. Subscribers can log in through the club’s official streaming platform to watch the full match. It is worth checking the Rangers FC website directly for the most up to date pricing and access details ahead of kick-off.
For those heading to Ibrox, the atmosphere of a pre-season friendly is usually a bit more relaxed than a league or cup tie, but that does not mean the players will be taking it easy. Managers on both sides will be using the game to run the rule over their squads, try out new formations, and get minutes into the legs of players who are building up their fitness after the summer break.
West Ham will arrive as useful opposition. The Hammers compete in the Premier League and will bring a strong enough squad to give Rangers a genuine test. Games like this matter for building sharpness and confidence before the competitive matches begin.
For Rangers, the priority will be getting their key players up to speed and giving the manager a look at some of the fringe players who are pushing for a place in the starting eleven once the serious business gets underway.
Fans should keep an eye on the club’s official channels for confirmed kick-off times and any last minute changes to broadcast arrangements.
