Rangers make supporters promise after Sunderland friendly abandoned following floodlight chaos

Rangers have announced that they will offer full refunds for fans who either attended their friendly with Sunderland or bought an online stream.

The pre-season friendly over in Portugal was abandoned at half-time, with the Black Cats leading 1-0. Both clubs were using the game as preparations for their upcoming seasons but a floodlight failure at the Estadio Municipal de Albufeira sent everyone home for an early night. Hardy supporters had travelled for this match while some bought online passes at home, with the club willing to provide compensation.

A statement from Rangers reads: "Neither Rangers or Sunderland were responsible for the stadium operations and the floodlight failure. However, Rangers appreciate the support of our loyal fans and the support they give the team everywhere we go which means everything to us. Rangers will refund the ticket cost to all Rangers ticket holders and our supporters that purchased the match on RangersTV.
