Rangers will host Real Madrid at Ibrox later this month as Steven Gerrard’s side round off their pre-season preparations with a clash against Carlo Ancelotti’s superstars – and Gers fans on Twitter are buzzing to see the ‘box office international superstars’ take on Los Blancos.
Steven Gerrard’s side will welcome Real to Ibrox 24 hours after facing Premier League Brighton and there’s only one game that weekend that Rangers fans are talking about.
Madrid are thought to be heading to Scotland for a training stint in St Andrews later this month and will kick off their own pre-season fixtures with the Ibrox clash.
Rangers have already faced Partick Thistle and will take on Tranmere, Arsenal, Blackpool and Brighton before the 13-time European champions visit Glasgow.
The sides have only met once before, clashing in the first round of the 1963/64 European Cup with Madrid coming out on top on their way to a famous victory in the final.
After the appointment of Ancelotti as manager for the second time, Rangers fans could get to see some of the Real Madrid megastars at Ibrox and were quick to take to Twitter after the glamour clash was confirmed.
Here are some of the comments from Rangers fans buzzing at the prospect of seeing Los Blancos at Ibrox:
