Georgian football stars to join Rangers Weekend of Legends match in Scotland

Former Georgian national football team and Rangers Football Club forward Shota Arveladze and Manchester City legend Giorgi Kinkladze will join the likes of Jaap Stam, Joe Cole and Jermain Defoe in a charity football game between Rangers Legends and World Legends at the Scottish club’s Ibrox stadium on March 26.

Arveladze, who scored 44 goals in 95 games for Rangers between 2001-2005, and Kinkladze, who made an impression in the English Premier League, will also be joined by Rangers legend Barry Ferguson, former Arsenal forward Robin van Persie and other stars in the fixture scheduled in Glasgow for March 26.

Shota Arveladze, who also played for AFC Ajax, was also invited to the Match of Legends last year, with the fixture marking the 150th anniversary of Rangers. The Weekend of Legends football game will have its second edition next month, with the inaugural game hosted last year.

Kinkladze made 106 appearances for Manchester City between 1995-1998 and scored 20 goals, later joining Ajax and Derby Country.
