Rangers fans may be forgiven for shifting their attention towards next season already. While they are still in with a shot at winning a cup, they looked to have fallen too far behind in the league.
But, while they are still in the midst of the 2019/20 season, there are already rumours circulating regarding a preseason trip to London. According to Claret & Hugh, via @westham_gossip on Twitter, West Ham are currently negotiating a pre-season friendly against Rangers. The match would take place at the London Stadium, regardless of whether West Ham are relegated or not.
There were plenty of Gers fans who responded to the tweet. It appears that they are all for an away trip down to London.
Gees an away trip.

Will you be travelling to London if this news is correct?
Yes
No
Other fans insist that West Ham will need a bigger stadium if they want to fit all the travelling away fans.
Your gonna need a bigger stadium!!!

What do we think?
While these Rangers supporters appear to be extremely excited by the away day rumours, they shouldn’t lose focus of their current goals for this season.
The side are currently still in the Scottish Cup, and will be looking to extend their run in Europe for as long as possible, depending on how tonight’s second-round leg against Braga goes.
