Rangers have confirmed their plans for pre-season with three Ibrox friendlies as Steven Gerrard’s side gear up for the new campaign.
The Light Blues will host Oxford United, Blackburn Rovers and Marseille on consecutive Sundays, coinciding with the start of the Europa League campaign.

Gerrard’s side will welcome Oxford to Ibrox on July 7th with Andre Villas-Boas’ side next up seven days later before Blackburn appear on the 21st.
The Europa League campaign will get underway four days after the Oxford friendly so it will be a good opportunity to get some game time before the first leg.

Marseille last faced Rangers two years ago at Ibrox in a friendly as Niko Kranjcar scored a fantastic free-kick to salvage a draw.
The French side finished fifth in Ligue 1 last season and replaced manager Rudi Garcia with Villas-Boas last week.

Blackburn, managed by former Celtic boss Tony Mowbray, finished 15th in the English Championship while Oxford ended the season 12th in League One.
Rangers last came up against Blackburn in 2010 as Maurice Edu and Kenny Miller gave Walter Smith’s side a 2-1 win in Sydney, Australia.
