Rangers friendly sold out

The Magpies will make the journey to Ibrox on Tuesday, 18th July (kick-off 7:45pm BST) to take part in a testimonial match in honour of Gers goalkeeper Allan McGregor, before heading to the USA to compete in the inaugural Premier League Summer Series. 

Newcastle have been allocated the entire Broomloan Stand for what will be a first meeting with Rangers since the two teams drew 1-1 in Glasgow in a friendly almost ten years ago, in August 2013.   

When the fixture was announced in March, Eddie Howe said: "A trip to Rangers will present a strong challenge at what will be an important time in our summer preparations.

"Any time Rangers play at Ibrox, you expect competitive football, and we hope to contribute to a great occasion in honour of Allan McGregor's achievements with the club." A percentage of proceeds from the evening will go to charities nominated by McGregor.
