It has been announced that Rangers will host Arsenal in a pre-season friendly in July.
The Premier League giants have a date booked at Ibrox for July 17 after Rangers revealed on Friday that the Gunners were heading North of the border to mark the Gers’ 150th anniversary.
Steven Gerrard will be delighted with the occasion after praising Arsenal on Friday.
The North Londoners had just beaten Slavia Prague – who eliminated Rangers from the Europa League last month – in a 4-0 demolition in the Czech Republic and Gerrard was full of praise for Mikel Arteta’s troops.
Here’s how some fans of the Scottish Premiership champions reacted to the announcement regarding the Arsenal showdown.
It’ll be a nice occasion but there may not be a whole host of stars on show.
That’s because the game takes place six days after the Euro 2020 final and any international players from Rangers or Arsenal who go to the tournament will more than likely still be on holiday by the time the Ibrox clash comes along.
