New Delhi: Scottish football giants Glasgow Rangers say they will be closely monitoring the performances of Indian strikers Sunil Chettri and Jeje Lalpeklua, who arrived back in India on Friday morning after a six-day trial at Murray Park.
Chhetri and Lalpekhlua have now joined the Indian team. The duo missed the team's practice at the Ambedkar Stadium on Friday but will play in India's opening game in the SAFF Cup against Afghanistan on Saturday.
The duo reached Glasgow last Friday to train with the first-team squad of the Scottish champions and also took part in a practice match on Wednesday.
During the trials, they players were closely watched by Rangers' manager Ally McCoist and his assistant Kenny McDowall.
McCoist said that the club will continue to monitor the Indian stars in the I-League.
"Sunil and Jeje did fine and showed up well in training. They showed some lovely touches and adapted to the different surroundings they experienced," McCoist said in a statement on the club's website.
"They are away back home today but we will keep monitoring their situations and keep monitoring their performances back home. They will continue to play for their sides in India and it was great to have them both working with us as they are talented boys."
"It was a good experience for them and I think they certainly enjoyed it. We enjoyed having them here too. I watched them playing in the match yesterday (against Hamburg) and it was a really enjoyable game. They did absolutely fine," he said.
