Ezekiel, who was part of the NPL XI that faced Dolphins in Yenagoa in December 2011, premised his assertion to give the Flying Antelopes a run for the points on Match day 12 on his side’s 2-3 loss at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Enugu last term.

“Enugu Rangers are a big club I have a lot of admiration and respect for,” began the Lobi Stars’ left-back while talking to SuperSport.com. “Last season they beat us (2-3) in Enugu and I know they remember that it was a tough game. So they should expect us to give them a tough time on Sunday afternoon in Enugu this time.”

In this corresponding fixture on November 7, 2010, Rangers won 3-2 through goals from Fred Okwara, Ejike Uzoenyi and Brendan Ogbu while Kingsley Odoh netted twice for Lobi Stars.

Ogbu and Okwara are no longer with Rangers while Uzoenyi remains a doubt after suffering a knock on his knee after playing 90 minutes in Nigeria’s 0-0 draw at Rwanda in a 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying on Wednesday.
