Glasgow Rangers fans are delighted after the club confirmed they will play Arsenal in a pre-season friendly before the start of next term.
The Gers are already planning ahead for the next campaign, and they have chosen to face the Gunners in a match that will help commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Ibrox outfit. The game will be played at the home of the 55-time Scottish champions on July 17th.
In the past few days, it seems the two clubs have built up somewhat of a rapport. Arsenal faced Slavia Prague in the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday - the Gers were defeated by the Czechia champions in the previous stage. Following Ondrej Kudela's 10-game ban for racially abusing Glen Kamara, Slavia refused to take a knee for the Black Lives Matter movement before the game - that lead to Alexandre Lacazette doing so right in front of them (The Guardian).
The Gunners eventually won 4-0, with the France international on the scoresheet.
As such, the Gers supporters were delighted to be facing the Premier League side. The news was shared on the Gers' official Twitter account, and the fans took to the social media platform to share their thoughts.
