Rangers v Newcastle – Pre-season match banter.
Posted on August 7th, 2010 | 248 Comments |
A fantastic atmosphere will be guaranteed at Ibrox in front of what is expected to be a bumper crowd, swelled by at least 3,850 Newcastle United fans.
Although only a friendly, a bit of spice will be guaranteed during the match. Rangers will not want to lose in front of their home fans, and as Bob Moncur said yesterday, it is Scotland v England, despite it being a relatively meaningless friendly.
As it is our last match, I would expect to see the team that will play against Manchester United feature at some point, and the big atmosphere that will be generated should help them get prepared for Old Trafford in nine days time.
As ever, this is the place to come together and piss and moan about the match as we always do. The game is scheduled for TV coverage, so if any you guys can find some coverage that you would like to share with fellow Newcastle United fans then please feel free to add it to the ‘comments’ section below. Don’t forget that the match kicks-off at 1pm and NOT the usual 3pm Saturday afternoon slot.
This is our last chance to have a look at the team, and a result to go along with another decent performance would be very nice indeed. Most of all though, I am hoping for no new injuries to our threadbare squad!
Howay the lads!
Newcastle – Steve Harper, Jose Enrique, Fabricio Coloccini, Mike Williamson, James Perch, Jonas Gutierrez, Joey Barton, Danny Guthrie, Wayne Routlegde, Kevin Nolan, Andy Carroll.
Subs –
should be a bigger test,in terms of the pace of the game being much quicker than wednesdays match.
in last nights chronicle,bobby moncur said hughton maybe fielding a team that will be close to the one that will start at old twatford.it could be an interesting afternoon.
