Rangers Vs. Chelsea 06/08/11
SPL Champions Rangers will entertain English Premiership giants Chelsea in a glamour friendly at Ibrox Stadium on Saturday August 6, 2011.
Chelsea, who finished second in the Premiership last season are heading to Glasgow in August and their squad is filled with a host of international stars.
£50 million striker Fernando Torres will be joined by the likes of John Terry, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole, Petr Cech and Michael Essien and there is little doubt the London club will spend lavishly in the summer as they attempt to challenge Manchester Utd for the title.
The 2011/12 SPL season starts the weekend of 23 July, 2011 and Rangers will unfurl the flag ahead of the first match at Ibrox.
The Light Blues will then play an away SPL game the following weekend before opting out of the third weekend of fixtures to host Chelsea.
Rangers Manager Ally McCoist commented: "We are delighted to confirm Chelsea will be heading to Ibrox in August.
"They are a fantastic club and their squad is packed with world class players so I have no doubt this game will capture the imagination of our supporters.
"We enjoyed a fantastic match against them in 2007 and Ibrox was packed and I am sure the fans will turn out in huge numbers once again to watch us in action against such a high-profile English Premiership side.
"This game will be a great test for our players and we are all looking forward to their visit."
Rangers last faced Chelsea at Ibrox ahead of the 2007/08 campaign, Filip Sebo and Nacho Novo were on target in a 2-0 win.
Ticket details for Chelsea's visit to Ibrox - Saturday August 6, 2011 at 3pm - will be confirmed in due course.
