The best Blackpool v Rangers photos as Light Blues create seaside pyro show and Tillman spotted

Rangers did their talking on the park to match their supporters' noise off it as they emerged victorious from a pre-season friendly against English Championship side Blackpool.

The Light Blues ran out 2-1 winners in their second whole friendly - their first in front of fans this season - after last week's match with Sunderland in Portugal got cancelled due to a floodlight failure. Thousands of Rangers fans descended upon the popular English seaside resort and made plenty of noise in support of their team.

Borna Barisic opened the scoring from left-back after first half proceedings brought no goals and Charlie McCann finished things off for boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst courtesy of a fine strike. Beryly Lubala scored for Blackpool and Premier League duo West Ham United and Tottenham are up next at Ibrox for warm-up matches ahead of Premiership action kicking off on July 30th.

With colour on show and new signing Malik Tillman in the stands, here are 10 of the best photos from the match.
