Sevco are being lined up for a glamour friendly against Benfica reserves.

According to a report in the Daily Record the Ibrox side could be heading to Canada next month to take part in the prestigious Eusabio Cup.

Each year since 2008 Benfica have played a friendly in honour of their legendary striker of the sixties and seventies but were unable to play the match this pre-season.

With no real interest in the fixture it seems that a Canadian company could host the fixture and tap into the international appeal of the Ibrox club.

As recently as January Sevco took 4,000 fans to Leipzig for a kick-about against RB that ended in a 4-0 drubbing under Mark Warburton.

With just Bruno Alves and Lee Hodson involved in international football Pedro Caixinha would be able to take almost a full strength squad to the friendly at the TIM Hortons Field in Hamilton Ontario.
