Sunderland friendly was a farce and Rangers transfer new boys are nomad nobodies who won't improve them - Hotline

Rangers fans were left in the dark in the Algarve at the weekend but a few new arrivals always brighting things up.

The friendly clash with Sunderland ended in a shambles with the floodlights chucking it at half-time, but fans are hoping new recruits Antonio Colak and Tom Lawrence can bring some light relief following Joe Aribo’s departure. Alan McGaw, Alloa, said: “What an absolute farce from Portugal with the floodlights not working then the game abandoned. I know this was only a friendly but what would have happened if this had been a Euro cup game. I know the electric charges have risen but surely a few Euros in the meter would have helped. What about the fans who paid to get in as well?”

As for the new signings? The jury is out for now. Robert Livingstone, West Palm Beach, is convinced and he said: “Colak and Lawrence are natural goalscorers and their arrivals certainly make Rangers more competitive. Once Morelos comes back, and providing he does stay, Van Bronckhorst has the option of playing all three up front. Add in Kent’s pace and his ball control, we should see a lot more goals.”
