Rangers will be taking on the Malaysian side Johor Darul Ta’zim in their next pre-season friendly game on 16 July.
The Light Blues are in Spain for their pre-season training camp, and that is where they will be taking on JDT in Alicante.
Rangers played out a 1-1 draw against Kaizer Chiefs, a game in which Findlay Curtis scored a late equaliser.
What is your reaction to the new third kit?
It's fair to say a lot of Rangers fans have hated it…
John Souttar, Ivor Pandur and Thelo Aasgaard continue to be ruled out for Rangers
John Souttar and Danilo did not fly to Spain for the game against the Chiefs, and will be unavailable against JDT as well.
Thelo Aasgaard’s Norway got knocked out of the World Cup, losing to England 2-1 in extra time, but he will take a few weeks off before returning to training.
Rangers News understands that the 24-year-old is currently in Oslo and will have at least two weeks of downtime.
What are your expectations from Jens Hjerto-Dahl at Rangers?
Rangers appear to be closing in on his signing!
He remains in contact with the Gers chiefs, who have assured him that the focus is on his well-being and fitness.
Ivor Pandur was knocked out earlier than Aasgaard from the World Cup and is expected to join pre-season training next week, ruling him out of this game.
Connor Barron was nursing a knee injury, but has been training in Spain, and could be given some minutes if he’s cleared by the medical staff, sources have told Rangers News.
Findlay Curtis expected to start after starring role off the bench against Kaizer Chiefs
Curtis scored the equaliser off the bench last time around, and McInnes may reward him with a start on Thursday.
Mason Munn played in the second half, but could be given the chance to impress from kick-off in this one.
Ben Godfrey and Emmanuel Fernandez look to be the go-to pair at centre-back and are expected to continue there.
Dujon Sterling played centrally in the last game, so McInnes could look to play him in his favoured right-back role.
It could also be a game to experiment with playing Ross McCrorie in midfield, with Dan Neil coming off the bench in the second period.
Lawrence Shankland has not featured in pre-season and could make his unofficial Gers debut in this one.
Prediction for Rangers vs Johor Darul Ta’zim
Despite JDT’s exploits last season, Rangers should be able to get the win.
We are predicting a 3-1 victory for the Light Blues with Shankland finding the back of the net.
Will the game be telecast anywhere?
With the game being played behind closed doors, as things stand, there will be no telecast of the game.
