Rangers chief executive Martin Bain said: 'We are pleased to confirm Liverpool will be heading to Ibrox as part of our pre-season programme in early August.

'Like Rangers, they are a club with a rich history and tradition and I know our fans will enjoy watching players of the calibre of Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres.'

Rangers got the better of Chelsea last year, winning 2-0 thanks to goals from Nacho Novo and Filip Sebo, and Walter Smith's side went on to win a domestic cup double and reach the UEFA Cup final.

Bain said: 'We enjoyed a terrific game with Chelsea last pre-season and Liverpool will provide another great test for Walter and his players as they prepare for the new campaign.'
