“And as you depart for Algeria today, we pray that the Almighty God will grant you divine protection, guidance and a resounding victory against your opponents”, Ugwuanyi stated.
Also at the meeting, a staunch Rangers supporter, Barrister Charles Ugwu, promised N1million for every goal scored by the team in Algeria.
