Saints can reveal that R.S.C. Anderlecht will replace Glasgow Rangers in this year's Markus Liebherr Memorial Cup.

 

Saints have today revealed that Belgian champions R.S.C Anderlecht will replace Glasgow Rangers in this year's Markus Liebherr Memorial Cup, due to the well-publicised circumstances surrounding the Scottish side.

 

The decision has not been made lightly and has been reached with the integrity of the competition in mind, ensuring that the annual event will remain an extremely competitive experience with both Arsenal and Anderlecht bringing along a first team squad.

 

St Mary's is set to be an extremely popular destination this summer in the build up to the Club's first season back in the Premier League, and the opposition confirmed to take on Nigel Adkins' men in pre-season friendlies during July and August will certainly whet the appetite.

 

Fresh from hosting Arsenal and Anderlecht in the Markus Liebherr Memorial Cup on 14th July, Saints will welcome three teams in Ajax, Wolves and Udinese that are sure to further test their credentials as a top-flight side.

 

The Club is pleased to announce that supporters will be able to take advantage of a special 'Champions League Bundle', which will include a ticket to the Markus Liebherr Memorial Cup along with the visits of Ajax and Udinese at the following discounted price

'Integrity of the competition'?? - It's a pre-season friendly ffs and the games aren't even full length.

 

Seeing as that shower have been reported to be after 3 or 4 of the deserters in recent days, it wouldn't surprise me if that's got something to do with it.

 

One more to add into the bad books.
