Birmingham City manager Steve Bruce has revealed that there are on going talks between the Blues and Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers about a possible Pre-Season friendly between the two teams at Ibrox.

At a recent fans forum with Capital FM's Tom Ross, Birmingham City manager Steve Bruce revealed the blues were in talks with Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers about a possible friendly game in the Summer.

Bruce told fans that the game, which would be staged at the famous Ibrox stadium in Glasgow, is almost confirmed and just needs the finishing touches added to it.

Along with the possible Rangers vs Blues friendly, the Blues are also expected to visit Norway on a week long pre-season tour. The team will be based in the town of Stavanger and would play three games before returning home to the Midlands, much in the same way as the Germany tour of last summer.

Bruce also added that St Andrews would not be hosting any pre-season games due to the playing surface being replaced immediately after the end of the Premier League campaign.
