Fans Beg Rangers to avoid another Trophy Tour Embarrassment

Rangers FC have announced the Aiteo Cup trophy tour will hold next month and a scheduled “grand reception” for the team following their Cup success will follow as part of the activities lined up for the occasion.

Rangers dished one of the most memorable comeback in the Cup final when they overturned a 3-0 deficit in the second half of the final against Pillars, and forced the game to a shootout, which they eventually won 4-2.

 

The victory saw the Flying Antelopes end a 35-year FA Cup drought, just two years after they ended a 33-year League hoodoo.

 

On Tuesday, the club tweeted the roll call of events lined up to celebrate the Aiteo Cup triumph:

 

The trophy parade comes up November 16, while there will be a grand reception for the team the next day at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium

However though, some fans are wary the Club could put up another shambolic show, like it did in 2016.

 

The tour was a farce on that occasion and primarily because of the state of truck hired to convey the jubilant players, through the City of Enugu.

 

It was an embarrassment of some sort for the club and fans on social media have advised them on avoiding a repeat of the Show of Shame:
