Rovers' under 18s enjoyed their first pre-season outing of the summer with a comprehensive 3-0 win over Rangers in Glasgow.

Following on from the Reserve match in which Rovers won 2-1, the Academy took centre stage, and the Rovers under 18s also took the honours with a comfortable victory.

It was Grant Hanley who powered Rovers in front on 15 minutes, heading home a Josh Morris corner. Then Morris doubled the lead on the stroke of half time with a sensational 25 yard effort.

Gary Bowyer's young side should have added more goals to their tally, a third goal on the hour by a trialist the only strike to show for their dominance.

The Academy are next in action at the Abbey Stadium, Cambridge this Friday evening.
