The stubborn set-up at the Theatre of Dreams sent the Scottish champions to bed that night with a cherished point.
Lee McCulloch and his Rangers side did well to escape unharmed from Old Trafford back in 2010 on a night when the growing gulf between Scotland’s top clubs and their English counterparts was clear, maybe not by the scoresheet but certainly by their managers’ respective tactics.
“‘The Battle of Britain’ — that is how it was built up,” recalled McCulloch as he helped announce a pre-season friendly between the clubs at Murrayfield this summer. But football had changed financially, especially in England with the backing they had from sponsors and TV. Back then it was more of a level playing field. But even in 2010 it wasn’t level.
Rangers fought hard for their draw in that visit to Old Trafford 13-and-a-half years ago - but the game wasn’t without its casualties. Antonio Valencia suffered a leg-break following a challenge from Kirk Broadfoot. It remains to be seen if John Lundstram will still be on board at Ibrox by the time this summer’s scrap comes about.
