Following last week's cancellation against Wyke Wanderers, the First Team now travel over to Leeds to face Premier League side Whitkirk Wanderers in the West Yorkshire League Cup.

The match is scheduled to be played at Whitkirk Sports and Social Club and has a kick-off time of 2 pm. A look at the weather forecast shows that we should have sunny intervals and a slight breeze accompanying us.

In the goals chart, they have scored 12 (averaging 2.0 goals per home game) and conceded 13 (averaging 2.2 games per home game).

Team News For Rangers.

Before the recent defeat against Ripon City in the Whitworth Cup, we had enjoyed an eight-match unbeaten run, and this is the level that the management has challenged the squad to reach again.

There are a few players who are unavailable for this match, but there is still enough depth in the squad for Manager Dan Marshall to name an extremely competitive side to take to the Whitkirk pitch.

The Man In The Middle.

Taking charge will be Mr Ian Knee. This will be his fourth match in charge and the stats show that he has sent four players to the Sin-Bin and cautioned a further three.
