Liverpool have announced they will take on Glasgow Rangers in a prestigious friendly later this month. The Reds will travel to Glasgow for the fixture on Tuesday, October 18, (kick-off 7.30pm) for a match which will see Charlie Adam and Danny Wilson returning to Ibrox for the first time since moving south of the border. The two teams last met in a pre-season friendly in August 2008, with Liverpool running out 4-0 winners in Scotland. Liverpool have been allocated 3,500 tickets for this fixture. Tickets will be priced at £25 for adults, £15 for over 65's and fans aged 16 or 17, with under 16's priced at £5 each. Source:http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-news/reds-to-face-range
sounds expensive..... one must wonder how this interfaces with the good of the club. its after the utd game so we don't get any great benefit other than for gerrard's fitness maybe. It gives rangers money when they are strapped but aside from those..... does it give us any benefit from wokring out an away day fixutre mid week with the carling cup trip to stoke coming up the next week? I really don't see that very much but perhaps it just beds in the mid week away thing.
Thing is mito any Liverpool v Celtic/Rangers friendly is looked upon as more important to win by them at all costs than us,if Kenny is daft enough to play Gerrard in a nothing game against them he might well regret it. Why did'nt Liverpool agree to play it on a two leg basis?,that way we benefit moneywise and it gives the squad an extra practice game later on in the season.
those are certainly good points. Rangers will have thier own games to worry about too so really i can't see this game as being one to be hell for leather and can only conclude in thinking on it that it is ther eto give a few kids a game like wilson. The funny thing is how late its been announced so someone approached someone recently... i dunno... maybe some kids like wislon, wisdom, flanagan and robinson will be given time.
Getting game time for some of the younger players will be beneficial.However it does come across as rather sudden and what the purpose is having a friendly in the middle of the season.
who knows? It shouldn't have been organised preseason and then not announced so it sounds to me like something thats just been done in the past couple of weeks, with the main benefit going to rangers in terms of gates. i think maybe out u-19s in the nextgen thing will be rolled out.
I doubt we would play any of our first 11 in this game otherwise it would make as much sense as Blackburn's friendly in India. At least they're doing that during the International break.
