Gers chalk up win over Clyde
First-half goals from Steven Naismith and Kenny Miller helped Rangers to a 2-1 friendly win over Clyde at Broadwood Stadium on Wednesday.[LNB] Gers, who tackle Kilmarnock in their SPL opener this weekend, gave virtually the whole of their squad a chance to impress manager Walter Smith.[LNB]No less than 19 players turned out for the Light Blues, including exciting prospect Jamie Ness in midfield.[LNB]One negative for Rangers was the loss of teenager John Fleck, who had to be stretchered off after damaging his hamstring.[LNB]Gers' bright start was rewarded with their opening goal on eight minutes when Naismith slid home beyond John Hutchison from Kenny's neat pass.[LNB]Their second arrived on 24 minutes when Kenny capitalised on some poor defending before firing past Hutchison with a good finish.[LNB]Clyde finished the half in the ascendancy and just a few minutes into the second half they pulled a goal back through John Stewart.[LNB]Smith gave a host of youngsters the chance to shine late on and while they failed to build on their lead the friendly proved a worthwhile exercise.
