Rangers 3 City 2

And so the scratchy pre-season results continue.

Whilst there were some positives - Martin Petrov looking lively and added another goal to back up his one against Barnsley. There was some nice movement throughout the side, and the sharpness and fitness is no doubt tuning up for the start of the league campaign.

It was interesting to see the starting line-up tonight. Etuhu and Dunne aside, it could have passed for our starting side in ten days time, and was the formation I'd expect Hughes to field.

Disappointingly though, some familiar woes were present. Defensively we conceded too many last season and clean sheets have been hard to come by so far in pre-season. Richard Dunne cannot have done himself many favours tonight as he looked to try and retain his place that looks so under threat.

I am intrigued to see how we are shaping up in the flesh though. So much so I'm betraying my pre-season lethargy and heading to the Celtic game this Saturday.

vote it up!
