Scottish giants Rangers FC are set to return to the SuperCupNI this summer!

The Glasgow giants will be hoping that their class of 2023 will hope to go one step better than last year, when they were defeated by a classy Manchester United side in the final.

The Ibrox outfit have had their return to the tournament rubber stamped by first team manager Michael Beale, who previously brought teams over from Chelsea when he was involved with their academy.

SuperCupNI chairman Victor Leonard said securing the services of Rangers was a major coup for the tournament.

“Last year’s Junior final was played in front of a large crowd at the Ballymena Showgrounds and Rangers are always very well supported at the tournament.

“The feedback we got from Rangers was overwhelmingly positive and I know they are excited to come back and hopefully go one step better this summer.”

Rangers are joined in the Junior Section by fellow SPL side Kilmarnock FC, who are making a return to the tournament for the first time since the early noughties.
