Redemption seeking Rangers out to cage prowling Leopards

Posta Rangers will be gunning to return to winning ways following their last weekend’s 3-1 loss suffered in the hands of Gor Mahia when they tackle AFC Leopards on Sunday at Thika Stadium.Rangers kicked off the post-Stanley Okumbi era with the heavy defeat and will be hoping to put Leopards to the sword and register their eighth win of the season.The Mailmen parted ways with Okumbi at the start of the month with reports from the club indicating that the former Harambee Stars coach will fly out to Germany to take a six-month-long coaching course.UP NEXT This Sunday at Thika Sub County Stadium #Betsafe #OursForever #INGWE pic.twitter.com/tCNZ46px02— AFC Leopards (@AFCLeopards) February 12, 2022 The club moved to appoint former Mathare United head coach Salim Ali to fill in the void left by Okumbi but according to the former, he will watch the Leopards duel from the stands. The club’s assistant coach Collins Omondi who was on the touchline during the defeat to Gor says they have prepared to cage Leopards despite missing four players who are injured. The former Nzoia Sugar boss revealed that the quartet of Francis Nambute, Sammy Imbuye, assistant captain Michael Apudo and the club’s leading scorer Brian Marita were nursing injuries and consequently will skip the Leopards match. “We have had good preparations and hopefully we will get the three points. We’ve fixed the loopholes in the defence that allowed Gor to score three times and at the same time worked on our finishing. Unfortunately, we will miss four players but that’s not an excuse not to win the game, ” said the former Kariobangi Sharks assistant coach.Salim Ali is the new Posta Rangers head coach. He replaces Stanley Okumbi who apparently left the club last week to pursue a coaching course in Germany. pic.twitter.com/iWJEe10Tcf— Meshack Kisenge (@kisengemeshack1) February 10, 2022 Leopards similarly will be hoping to get back on the winning track after playing Bidco United to a one-all draw in their previous match, a result that was preceded by back to back wins over Mathare United.The club’s centre half Kayci Odhiambo stressed the significance of the forwards making all the chances count for the team to collect the sixth win of the season with ease.”We have to take our chances for us to win the game. We dropped points against Bidco due to wastefulness in front of the goal but I believe the training sessions we had throughout the week solved the problem,” said the former Dandora Love FC defender.
