RANGERS will hand Inter Milan the keys to Murray Park ahead of the Italian side’s Europa League showdown with Celtic.

The Ibrox side have agreed to help out the Serie A men by letting them use of their Auchenhowie training base to prepare for the first leg of their last-32 tie.

Roberto Mancini’s men warmed up for the tie in Glasgow with a 4-1 drubbing of 10-man Atalanta yesterday to record successive wins for the first time since October.

Record Sport understands the Light Blues are expecting the Italian side at Murray Park on the morning of the match with Ronny Deila’s Hoops.

It comes after a similar move by Rangers exactly two years ago when Juventus used the facility before a 3-0 Champions League last-16 win at Parkhead.

Kris Commons had at Celtic’s Old Firm rivals at that time, saying: “Juventus can train in my back garden, it would make no difference. If they want to prepare at a Division Three training ground let them get on with it.”

Former chief executive Charles Green revealed they offered the Turin giants the chance to train at Murray Park after meeting Juve officials at a European Clubs Association conference in Qatar.

That was the first time Rangers had hosted Celtic’s Euro opponents since allowing former Ibrox boss Graeme Souness the use of the club’s facilities to prepare for Blackburn Rovers’ UEFA Cup clash before the English side lost 1-0 at Parkhead in 2002.

Inter made a similar gesture when they threw the doors of their training base open to Barcelona when they were in Milan for a Champions League last-16 fixture against city rivals AC a couple of years ago.

Mancini wants a training base to put his players through their final session before the Parkhead clash on Thursday night with Murray Park viewed as being best available option to the Serie A side.
