West Ham assistant coach Mark Warburton is looking forward to this week's friendly at Rangers.

The 59-year-old thoroughly enjoyed his spell in Glasgow and remains in contact with many people he met during his time there.

“A lot of Rangers fans have called me up and said they are looking forward to the game and I'm looking forward to going back," he told whufc.com. “It's going to be really nice.

“Rangers is a magnificent club with a tremendous history and tradition and a level of passion within the fanbase which is hard to comprehend, so I think they'll looking forward to having one of the big Premier League clubs coming up.

“I hope very much it's a full house because it will be a great occasion with two big clubs coming together, for sure. It's pre-season, but it will be two good teams getting ready for the start of their respective seasons and European football, and I am sure both teams will make it a very worthwhile evening."

Warburton says he would love nothing more than to assist Moyes in bringing silverware to London Stadium.

“It's a huge Club," he observed. “I remember, when working in the City, how many of the guys I worked with were West Ham fans. They all talked about the 'A12 corridor' and everything else and when this job was announced I got so many calls from brokers and dealers saying: 'Finally! You've joined the right Club!' and all those sorts of comments. The City is massively West Ham leaning.

“Without being disrespectful, it has been a sleeping giant in terms when you look at the stadium and the number of Season Tickets and the packed grounds.

“We've finished sixth and seventh and you can see the quality in the squad and it's an exciting time, but you've got to make sure you keep building and I know the manager and the staff will be keen to make sure we don't sit on our laurels, but we continue to drive forward."
