BSNSports.com.ng gathered that the coach Izuchukwu Okoronkwo's tutored side is brimming with confidence going into this fixture that starts at 10.00 A.M this morning almost all the players presented passing the screening exercise conducted by the organizers of the annual competition for the youth teams of all teams in the NPFL.

With the likes of Jacob Peter, David Ejas, Chigozie Ajoku, and Godswill Usoro in their elements, Coach Okoronkwo is sure of delivering the goods against last season’s losing finalist in this Group D opening encounter.

Rangers’ administrative secretary, Barrister Ferdinand Ugwuarua, while addressing the team, charged them to be good ambassadors and give their best at all times, stressing, “I believe that you are champions competing and you shall come out of this opening encounter with a massive win to show other teams in the competition that we are here for real business.”
