RANGERS have announced that they will face newly-promoted Premier League side Burnley in a pre-season friendly at Ibrox on July 30.
The Clarets won the English Championship last season to secure their return to the top-flight after only a year away, and will face off against the Scottish Championship winners.
The match will take place at Ibrox Stadium on Saturday 30 July, with kick-off scheduled for 3pm.
It will be a repeat of the fixture that took place last summer, when a goal from former Falkirk midfielder Scott Arfield secured a 1-0 win for Sean Dyche's team.
Joey Barton is set to face the club he was named Player of the Year for at the beginning of May, only months after leaving them to join the Gers.
Barton helped the Lancashire club earn promotion by scoring three goals and contributing three assists in 38 league appearances in 2015/16,
Rangers manager Mark Warburton said: “Burnley were very welcome visitors a year ago and gave us an enormously beneficial test for the season ahead.
“We look forward to again welcoming Sean Dyche, his staff and players for what we know will be a very tough challenge but one that helps both teams prepare for their respective campaigns.”
