Rangers on their way back to SuperCupNI

Scottish giants Rangers FC are set to return to the SuperCupNI this summer!

The Glasgow giants will be hoping that their class of 2023 will hope to go one step better than last year when they were defeated by a classy Manchester United side in the final.

The Ibrox outfit have had their return to the tournament rubber stamped by first team manager Michael Beale, who previously brought teams over from Chelsea when he was involved with their academy.

SuperCupNI chairman Victor Leonard said securing the services of Rangers was a major coup for the tournament.

“Over the years we have developed strong working relationships with Rangers and they have been fantastic supporters of the tournament for a number of years now.

“Last year’s Junior final was played in front of a large crowd at the Ballymena Showgrounds and Rangers are always very well supported at the tournament.

“The feedback we got from Rangers was overwhelmingly positive and I know they are excited to come back and hopefully go one step better this summer.”

The 2023 tournament kicks off on Sunday 23rd July with a welcoming ceremony in Coleraine and concludes with finals day on Friday 28th July. Matches will be played across three council areas, Causeway, Coast and Glens, Mid and East Antrim and Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council.
