The Adamasingba Stadium Ibadan will
witness a re-enactment of the legendary rivalry
between two of Nigeria’s most successful clubs
in the 80s as Shooting Stars Sports Club(3SC)
host Rangers International of Enugu in the Glo
Premier League week 9 fixture.

Although the clubs have suffered mixed fortunes
in the ongoing season, they still enjoy a large
following among Nigerian football fans. The
two teams are in the bottom half of the table,
it is expected that the battle tomorrow is
beyond the three points at stake. History has
shown that any match between these two sides
ignites a high level of passion, particularly
among their teeming fans.

With 3SC lying 17 in the log and Rangers 13,
the match would therefore offer the two teams
the opportunity to re-enact hope in the
managements and fans. Already, Rangers
Coach, Kelechi Emeteole has been under
immense pressure to perform. Last weekend’s 1-0
victory over Heartland of Owerri provided a
breather for the embattled coach. On his part,
3SC Coach Franklin Howard who just led the
team back to the topflight at the end of last
season is under pressure to ensure they do not
return to the lower division at the end of the
season. He would want to use Rangers to kick-
start that revival.
