Rangers development squad took a 4-0 victory over MSK Zilina this weekend in the final of a youth tournament hosted by Viktoria Plzen. ????⚪️???????????????? pic.twitter.com/LuxjhGgLh7 — Rangers Youth Academy (@RFC_Youth) July 15, 2018 Rangers took first place following the original Group stage games with victory over the hosts and then a 1-1 draw with Legia Warsaw, with Zilina booking their place in the final with victories over West Bromwich Albion and Hertha Berlin. The win was all the more impressive when you think the youngsters were without regulars Robby McCrorie, Aidan Wilson, Kyle Bradley, Glenn Middleton and Zak Rudden who are involved in pre-season preparations with Steven Gerrard’s first-team squad this summer. Fans reacted positively to news of their appearance in the final to begin with and things only got better with such a comprehensive win in the final 90 minutes of the tournament. Atakayi opened the scoring in the game, with Houston making it 2-0 from the penalty spot. Dallas added a third before we wrapped the matchup as Atakayi completed his brace in the second half. @RFC_Youth 19s beat top Slovakian side MSK Zilina 4-0 to win the @fcviktoria_en tournament. Great performance from the young gers with good competition from Legia Warsaw, Hertha Berlin, West Brom and of course the fantastic hosts @fcviktoria_en ???? to players and staff ????⚪️???? — Rangers Youth Academy (@RFC_Youth) July 15, 2018 The victory an even greater achievement as Rangers squad contained seven players from the 18’s squad born in 2002 / 2001.
