Rangers quartet Hamza Igamane, Jefte, Nicolas Raskin, and Ianis Hagi took on NFL's 'ball-spin' challenge ahead of this weekend's Superbowl final.

The 59th edition of the hotly anticipated showdown takes place this Sunday, February 9, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

It involves, as you would expect, spinning an American football for as long as you can.

Their most recent stop was at Rangers' training ground, where Igamane, Jefte, Raskin, and Hagi put their skills to the test.

Jefte spun the ball for less than a second, with striker Igamane managing two seconds.

Raskin clocked in at just over a second and a half, while Hagi topped the lot, racking up an impressive 2.4 seconds of ball-spinning action.

The players will soon need to put their focus back into kicking the ball ahead of Sunday's Scottish Cup tie with Championship outfit Queen's Park at Ibrox.
