The 25-man delegation, comprising 18 players and seven officials, led by Rangers’ General Manager, Prince Davidson Owumi, left Enugu aboard an
Asky Airline for Libreville. They are expected back in Nigeria on Sunday.Speaking ahead of the game, Rangers players and officials expressed optimism of coming out of Libreville unscathed, saying their ambition is to win this competition this term. Rangers recently acquired some experienced campaigners ahead of this season, with former Enyimba midfielder among the pack.Others are Uche John, Nnamdi Egbujuo, Obinna Eleje, Ifeanyi George and Tony Shimaga. Also in the squad are Isiaka Oladuntoye and Senegalese international, Pape Ousmane Sane.
Prior to this game, Rangers played and won 11 pre-season games, and lost one. They were camped in the serene Nanka community of Orumba-North LGA of Anambra State, where they also had some tune up games.
“As a new player in Rangers, I hope to bring my experience of playing on the continent for over a decade to bear, if selected by the coach, to help us achieve our set target for the season. “Rangers is a very big team in the continent and my joining them is to contribute my little quota towards making it a continental champion again after over four decades.”
