Rangers tour cancelled

Newco Rangers have received yet another blow with the news that their pre-season tour of Germany has been cancelled at their hosts' request.

Gers left without any pre-season games

Newco Rangers have received yet another blow with the news that their pre-season tour of Germany has been cancelled at their hosts' request. The news comes just 24 hours after SPL sides voted unanimously against the newly formed club - created in the wake of the original Rangers' liquidation -taking a place in Scotland's top flight next season. Ally McCoist's men are regular visitors to Germany in pre-season and were due to take on Bundesliga 2 outfit Eintracht Braunschweig as well as lower league sides SV Rodinghausen and Armenia Bielefeld. However, the tour has now been cancelled, leaving the Gers without any pre-season games. Premier League outfit Southampton and French side Le Havre have previously withdrawn offers for pre-season fixtures. "The Rangers Football Club has been informed by the organisers of our pre-season trip to Germany that they can no longer offer us a place on the tour," read a statement on the club's official website. "The team was due to play three games in Germany between 18-25 July, but the trip will now not take place at their request."
