Wilson: It’s Nice to get invite from hosts Lyon

RANGERS sporting director Ross Wilson welcomed the Ibrox club’s invitation to France as part of their preparations for next season.

Steven Gerrard’s side will participate in a new European club tournament ‘Trophee Veolia’.

They will face hosts Lyon on Thursday at the Groupama Stadium and

Nice at the same venue two days later.

Wilson told the club’s website: “We are delighted to have received this invitation from Olympique Lyonnais and look forward to travelling.

“We will step up our preparations against high-quality opposition in the two games before returning to Glasgow.”
