Rangers in double fixture switch as two matches selected for Sky TV coverage

Rangers have been hit with a double fixture switch after Sky announced their TV picks for the start of the season.

The Ibrox club's away matches against Ross County and St Johnstone will both be shown live and as a result kick-off times have been tweaked.

Michael Beale's side will travel to Dingwall on Saturday August 26 with kick-off time set for 12:30pm.

They will then head to Perth to face Saints on Saturday September 16 with a kick-off time of 12:30pm.

Meanwhile, Sam Lammers appreciated the personal touch from Michael Beale in the Rangers manager’s bid to bring him to Ibrox.

Beale flew to Italy to persuade the 26-year-old Dutchman to make the move from Atalanta and he duly arrived in Govan on a four-year deal which is reportedly worth around £3million.

One of seven new Beale signings this summer, with the promise of more to come, forward Lammers said: “The trainer came to visit me in Italy and he has a really clear vision of what he wants with this team and me.

“This doesn’t happen often in football.

“The human part played a big role. The fact that he goes over to new players to tell them the story and his vision for next season, is a really positive thing.

“I had a good feeling after this and I was excited to come over.

“He didn’t have to persuade me because the club speaks for itself and I was already interested otherwise I would not have talked to him, but this is the manager we work with this season so it was important for me to talk.

“If it had not been a positive talk then you have a different feeling but everything was like I expected so it was good.”

The Rangers Review team is taking the hugely-popular morning briefing LIVE at New Edmiston House on July 28.

And, we're delighted to announce that none other than Barry Ferguson will join our top team of Jonny McFarlane, Joshua Barrie, Stevie Clifford and Derek Clark.

The doors will open at 6.30pm giving you time to grab a beer or soft drink before we head into an hour of debate and chat ahead of the new season; expect new signing assessments, tactical analysis, predictions and the usual banter. Then, Derek will host an exclusive chat with Barry, gaining insight into his two trophy-laden spells at the club and his take on Michael Beale's rebuild.

Tickets start at just £21.50 and can be purchased HERE.
