Why did Rangers pull out of the Sydney Super Cup? 

Rangers were originally scheduled to play in the Sydney Super Cup but pulled out in April

With Celtic also competing, their involvement would have seen an Old Firm Derby played outside of Scotland for the first time. 

Rangers fans were never happy about the plans with the club eventually withdrawing from the tournament and citing an unwillingness from organisers to fulfil certain unspecified commitments.

Everton were subseqeuntly selected to replace Rangers and jumped at the chance to visit Australia.

“We are really looking forward to travelling to Australia later this year. The winter World Cup has provided us with this opportunity to visit an amazing country and play against really strong opposition," manager Frank Lampard said. 

"We’ve also got a lot of passionate Evertonians in Australia and we can’t wait to catch up with them. 

“Other than the players on duty at the World Cup, we will be taking our strongest possible squad. This promises to be a very worthwhile tour on every level, and we are delighted to be making the trip.”
