RANGERS will face Spartak Moscow, Rapid Vienna and Hamburg to boost their Under-19 kids.

The Gers didn’t field a Development League outfit last term and are once again taking a different approach to youth fixtures.

Head of Academy Craig Mulholland said: “We are pleased to confirm our games programme for the Reserve / U19 group between now and Christmas.

“Having re-joined the SPFL Reserve League after last year’s innovative European Games programme, we rejected the opportunity to enter the Reserve League Cup to ensure we left sufficient dates to continue the cross border ‘best v best’ challenge for the excellent talent that we have in this group.”
