Rangers legends return for Scottish Masters

There are a number of talking points ahead of Rangers' trip to face their Scottish Premiership rivals as part of the Scottish Masters.

With Barry Ferguson set to lead the side, the addition of Pedro Mendes brings an element of glamour to the 'friendly' tournament.

Roy Carroll will also be expected to make a difference between the sticks, with the Northern Irish goalkeeper the oldest player in the Gers squad.

The inclusion of Hall of Famer Lee McCulloch will also turn heads, the former Rangers captain a no-nonsense footballer who adds some grit to the team.

Graham Dorrans – who is still playing the game with Johnstone Burgh – is the youngest player in the squad at the tender age of 36.

Nacho Novo has also bounced back from a string of medical issues over the last few to take his place in the squad.

Rangers also have a lethal frontline, with legendary poacher Kris Boyd making the trip north alongside popular forward Jermain Defoe, who makes his return to Scottish football.
