Glasgow Rangers’ plans for the upcoming campaign are now in full flow.
The Gers have flown out to France to take part in the Veolia Trophy, where they will also face Celtic, Lyon and Nice. Then, once they return from that, the Ibrox outfit will kick off their Scottish Premiership campaign as they travel to Pittodrie to face Aberdeen on August 1st.

Of course, that will be without fans in the stadium due to the current pandemic, and that isn’t the only change that we will see, either. In the Premier League, each club have been allowed to make five substitutions per match since the league returned, and it has now been confirmed that clubs across the planet will be able to do the same for the length of the 2020/21 campaign.

This has attracted plenty of attention from the Gers supporters, and they have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts. You can see some of the best comments from the social media platform below.
I’d guess the minimum stoppage time will be 5 mins now if all subs used, also have to be tougher on players leaving at the nearest touch line.

5 subs next season might just be a good thing in terms of more game time opportunities for Rangers youths.

Are we also doing this drinks break nonsense?

It’s something that should probably be kept in place for the next 2 seasons, not that it’ll affect most clubs in Scotland, but with WC22 in Qatar, get players used to water breaks n 5 subs prior to the World Cup.

It makes a farce of football.
How much time will be waisted now with Clubs using this rule to run down the clock— dEBT shredder (@andybearz) July 15, 2020
