International breaks are never a particularly popular affair as Rangers fans cope without their weekly workship.
Watching players who strut their stuff at Ibrox for their countries is one way to cope but there are other ways to fill the void.
The best way is a trip to the famous old ground to take in a top of the table clash between Rangers Women and Glasgow City.
Rangers Women in table topping clash with Glasgow City at Ibrox
Jo Potter’s side currently sit at the top of the SWPL Premier League 1, one point clear of their opponents on Saturday.
The only dropped points this season being the frustrating Old Firm draw where a two-goal lead was coughed up in the latter stages.
With 55 goals scored and only three conceded in nine fixtures so far, it could be an entertaining encounter between the two sides leading the way.
Rangers were victims of their own downfall last season.
The league was lost to Celtic on goal difference after conceding points from winning positions to their bitter rivals.
Potter had to console herself with a cup double in her debut season as a manager in what was a promising start to her Gers tenure.
The former England international will be hoping for a big turn out at Ibrox on Saturday with no men’s game and the club promoting the fixture.
How to support Rangers in this international break
Here are the details if you want to head along and attend what could be a huge influence on the destination of the title:
“The Light Blues will be at the famous stadium for the first time this season as they take on Glasgow City on Saturday, October 12, with kick-off at 3pm and the match also being shown live on Sky Sports.
“Tickets for the match are available to purchase here, priced at £7 for adults and £4 for concessions and juveniles.”
The women’s game is growing.
Teams like Hearts and Hibernian aren’t quite making it a five-horse race, however, as the Jam Tarts proved last season by beating Rangers, they can certainly have their say on who the winners are.
Since becoming professional, Rangers have also improved immeasurably, although the sobering 6-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League qualifiers serves as a reminder of how far the club still has to go.
Attention is fully on domestic duty this weekend though in what would be a great chance for Potter’s side to lay down an early marker.
Taking four points out of six against Celtic and Glasgow City would show that they have no intentions of letting top spot slip this time around.
