The management and technical crew have concluded plans to buy five new players especially attackers to sharpen the attacking squad even as the players who returned and commenced training on Monday have been engaged in some friendly matches after a week break.

The technical adviser of the team, Alphonsus Dike said in order to put the players in proper shape for the second stanza of the league, some friendly matches have been put in place with some local teams, while stressing for fair and better officiating in the second stanza. He appealed to the NPL to send independent assessors to the league venues to checkmate excesses of some match officials with attendant punishments.

He expressed confidence that with the quality of players in his arsenal and the expected new players Rangers will no doubt be the team to look out for in the second stanza of the league, while appealing to the state government to fulfil their own part of the bargain by clearing outstanding sign-on-fees of players and technical crew.

Meanwhile, management of Rangers has concluded plans to unveil a new kit sponsor for the team based in the USA. The club recently reached an agreement with an American based company to brand Rangers with a new kit sponsor.

The club in addition will have replica jerseys, caps, scarf, umbrellas, and pens, among others just as it is done in Europe and other developed countries; this will give Rangers fans and supporters the opportunity of buying the club’s merchandisea within and outside Nigeria in order to raise funds.
