Lukewarm Rangers set to consolidate against Akwa
After achieving what no clubs have done in recent time, picking a point against El-Kanemi Warriors in Maiduguri, Nigeria Professional Football League champions, Rangers will this weekend aim to consolidate at home when they take on Akwa United. No team has escaped total bashing at the hands of El- Kanemi with Rangers joining Rivers United as the only team that have scored away against t the team.One of the strikers of the team, Ifeanyi George, said the match would afford the team the opportunity to consolidate as they gradually move away from relegation. “It has been a difficult season for us but after the hard earned point in Maiduguri, we need to get the maximum three points against Akwa United,” he said.“I know it is not going to be an easy game because they are also a good side, but we want the points more than them because of our recent experience. “So unfortunate that the champions are fighting relegation but we have what it takes to bounce back and playing against Akwa is an opportunity for us to move up.”
