Rangers depart for Tunisia.

Nigeria's sole campaigners on the continent, Enugu Rangers, will travel to Tunisia tomorrow ahead of their CAF Confederation Cup qualifier this weekend.
The team will depart Murtala Mohammed Airport tomorrow night as they aim to make an early arrival in Tunisia for the second leg of their Confederations Cup qualifier against CS Sfaxien at the Stade Taieb Mhiri on this weekend.
Rangers go into the second leg of the game with a slim advantage having won the first-leg 1-0 courtesy of a late goal scored by Ugonna Uzochukwu, and will need at least a goalless or a score draw to progress to the next stage.
The Flying Antelopes have struggled for consistency in recent weeks and will be hoping that their 2-0 home win over Sunshine Stars at the weekend will motivate the players to get a positive result against Sfaxien who have won the Confederations Cup on two occasions.
Till date no Nigerian club has won Africa's second tier competition, with Dolphins FC being the most successful in the competition so far having lost the 2005 Final to FAR Rabat with a 3-1 aggregate score.
