“We have prepared well, induced the player with what they need to know and what is expected of them in the match.
”Though, this match is like a derby because Lobi Stars FC coach worked with Rangers FC few months ago.
”I think with the preparation we have had, we are going there to get a positive result as we are now channeling all our efforts to the league,” he said.

He said that it would be a big task for the club considering its current position on the log.
”Yes, we are on 18th position in the league log with six outstanding matches.
”By the time we finish executing all these matches, we will be rubbing shoulder with the teams already in the continental position of the league.
”We have lots of talented players to prosecute the matches and the upcoming federation cup,” the coach said.

The new players are: Isreal Abia formally of Sunshine Stars FC, Ifeanyi Nweke from Kano Pillars FC, Ifebu Ojukwu from Fakkada FC and Franklin Ebuka from Wikki Tourist FC.
He expressed satisfaction with the reduction in the club injury woes, saying that the club injured players are responding well to treatment.
