ABS VS RANGERS

VENUE ; Ilorin Township Stadium
DATE : Saturday, February 25, 2012 TIME: 4 PM

Erasmus Onuh must be feeling the heat as his side, Abubakar Bukola Saraki Football Club of Ilorin are finding it difficult to replicate last season's form, which saw them compete favourably with top guns in the Nigeria Premier League.

One win out of nine games has confined the side now bankrolled by the former Kwara State governor, Bukola Saraki, to the last position on the log and the situation could get worse for them, should they fail to get a win today against a highly fancied Rangers side who themselves are searching for their first away win of the season.

The Flying Antelopes despite having a squad made up of inexperienced players, have been in fantastic form this term.Chikeluba Ofoedu, Akeem Yakubu,  Lateef Adegbite and Emeka Eze have shone for the side tutored by experienced trainer,Okey Emordi, who is on his second stint with the Six-times league Champions following his return from another oriental side, Enyimba Football Club of Aba.

The Enugu  based side were held at home last weekend by Heartland Football Club of Owerri but they have proven this season they can play and get a result. They will however be praying for another good result from their trip to Ilorin, following their 0-0 draw against Kwara United two weeks ago.
