Rangers will play a closed friendly fixture at Ibrox today against the Premier League’s high-flying Leicester City which was revealed on Twitter by prominent fans blog/podcast Four Lads Had a Dream.
Rangers will play Leicester City tomorrow in a closed door game at Ibrox
Development and first team squad, possibly some game time for Jordan Jones if fit enough
The Leicester management said to be keen to strengthen ties with ‘Scotlands premier club’, should be decent game

Steven Gerrard will see the fixture as an ideal opportunity to give game time to some of his fringe players that haven’t been involved in the international break and who won’t be playing when domestic football returns on Sunday with the short trip to Hamilton.
Interestingly, this is the second time that former Celtic manager, Brendan Rodgers, has done Rangers a favour, midfielder Andy King was sent up on loan with the Midlands club making it a “no brainer” for Gerrard, the Welshman is short of game time and may well face his parent club.
Who would you rather start up front with Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos
Jordan Jones
Scott Arfield
Sheyi Ojo
Jamie Murphy
These Rangers fans took to Twitter after the announcement and backed the decision to get competitive action for those returning from injury and on the fringes.
Jordan Jones return will be very welcome. The more attacking options the better

Hoping Jamie Murphy is given a good run out. For me he’s more important than king (just my opinion)

Good stuff hope jj gets a good few minutes
— John Rodgers (@smodgers81) November 18, 2019
Get him back firing before the final ????????

Whereas, these fans enjoyed the quote from Leicester that Rangers are “Scotland’s premier club,” which is sure to trigger the noisy neighbours.
