Rangers Under 18’s side ran out 3-1 winners against their Northampton Town counterparts on Saturday morning. In a game played at the new Harlington training ground, Joe Gallen’s lads had to cope with a blustery wind and some clown buzzing them with a remote control plane!

Rangers went two goals up in the first half hour thanks to scrappy goals from Ricky Sappleton and Ray Jones. The first was a shot that seemed to be deflected from a corner and the second came after good work on the left from the fleet footed Bruno Luz. 

Northampton pulled one back before the break when a corner from the left was defended poorly and the Cobblers man was allowed a free header at the near post. Half time gave a chance to get out of the wind and get a sausage butty on board before legging it out for the second half whish had started early.
