RANGERS left for France today to begin their preparations for the prestigious European club tournament, ‘Trophée Veolia’, hosted by Olympique Lyonnais.
The Gers left from Glasgow Airport this afternoon and travelled to France ahead of playing against Lyon tomorrow evening.
The matches will provide an opportunity to face high-quality opposition as the next step in pre-season.
The Light Blues are returning to a city we have enjoyed success in before, having famously enjoyed a 3-0 victory at the former Stade de Gerland in the 2007/08 UEFA Champions League.
Upcoming fixtures are as follows, timings in BST:
Thursday 16th July - Lyon v Rangers 7:45pm, Groupama Stadium Lyon
Saturday 18th July - Nice v Rangers 5:15pm, Groupama Stadium Lyon
Wednesday 22nd July, Rangers v Motherwell, 6pm, Ibrox.
Saturday 25th July - Rangers v Coventry City 5.15pm, Ibrox
In-line with advice from the French Government and the football authorities, we strongly advise that our supporters do not travel to Lyon.
The tournament organisers have confirmed that Rangers supporters will be unable to access the stadium.
