Wrexham men and women set for The Soccer Tournament in US
And the clubs are all set to clash again next week when the Soccer Tournament (TST) gets underway in North Carolina - with Ben Tozer set to pull on a Wrexham shirt once more.
For the third consecutive year, Wrexham Red Dragons take their spot in the event, which will be played in Cary, and the men continue their tilt at the $1 million prize against Bournemouth in their second Group F game on Wednesday, June 4.
The Dragons will open their tournament against Real Athletico earlier in the day, while the group is completed by the CONCAFA SC.
Wrexham Red Dragons women are also set for the competition, which starts in Group B with a clash versus Ultrain FC.
Kansas City II and Drunken Monkeys are the other two teams in the group.
'TST soccer is electrifying,' said TST CEO Jon Mugar. 'Our goal is to become the preeminent soccer festival in the world. Judging by the number of returning fans and teams, we are well on our way.
'We have doubled the size of the women's field and a record 64 teams will compete in Cary. I can't wait to see the level of competition this June!'
Wrexham Red Dragons men advanced to the round of 16 in both 2023 and 2024, scoring more goals than any other team in TST history.
Goalkeeper Mark Howard has been a standout figure, keeping clean sheets and scoring clutch Target Score Time goals.
Another impressive player has been striker George Boyd, holding the title of the tournament's all-time leading scorer with 11 goals.
Former club captain Tozer, who this week announced his retirement, will represent Wrexham at the tournament.
Men's squad: Aaron James; Abraham Rodriguez; Alex Moore; Ben Tozer; Brandon Barker; Callum Edwards; David Jones; George Boyd; Harry Ashfield; Jake Hyde; Liam McAlinden; Marc Albrighton; Navid Nasseri; Sak Hassan; Thomas Kelly; Yannick Parkes.
Goalkeeper Delyth Morgan and Mia Roberts are members of the women's line-up.
Women's squad: Brianne Reed; Delyth Morgan; Destiney Toussaint; Ella Dederick; Gabriella Cuevas; Havana Solaun; Katie Chapman; Kelly Ann Livingstone; Lindsay Agnew; Mia Roberts; Nicole Baxter; Rachel Unitt.

Josh Windass is 13/2 to score first in his side's Carabao Cup clash Tuesday - as Championship clubs Wrexham and Hull City clash in the first round
Round One of the Carabao Cup gets underway Tuesday - with 30 fixtures scheduled to take place. It is the match-up between Championship clubs Wrexham and Hull City that we will be focussing on in this article - as the pair clash in North Wales. Despite their heartbreaking loss in the dying stages against Southampton in their opening Championship game of the season - Wrexham are 13/10 favourites to reign supreme at home Tuesday. Conversely, Hull are 17/10 outsiders to upset the applecart in enemy territory according to Sky Bet. Elsewhere, in a separate market - Ollie Palmer and Ryan Hardie are the best-backed to score first at 5/1 odds. Smith had a strong campaign for Reading in League One last season - with the centre-forward netting 18 goals. Meanwhile, Josh Windass - who found the back of the net first in Wrexham's aforementioned loss to Southampton - is a 13/2 fourth-favourite to do so yet again in Tuesday's Carabao Cup clash. Sky Bet odds for Wrexham vs Hull City (Carabao Cup): Wrexham 13/10 Hull City 19/10 Sky Bet favourites in Goalscorers market for Wrexham vs Hull City: Ollie Palmer to score first 5/1 Ryan Hardie to score first 5/1 Sam Smith to score first 11/2 Josh Windass to score first 13/2

Can Wrexham spark cup run with triumph over Hull City?
Predictions weren't my forte last season, but I nailed the opening one of Wrexham's Championship campaign. I got the 2-1 scoreline at Southampton spot on - and I'd also explained to somebody a couple of hours prior to kick-off exactly how things would pan out! My remaining predictions this season aren't going to hit those heights - and tonight's match-up with Hull City is going to be a tricky one to look at. Lewis O'Brien and Conor Coady are going to be the Reds' heartbeats in the league this season, but I don't expect either of them to feature tonight. Phil Parkinson will tinker with his starting line-up - and there are plenty of players to choose from. Expecting Arthur Okonkwo to come in for his first appearance between the sticks this season and, if selected, it will be interesting to see how Sam Smith and Ryan Hardie get on up front. The League Cup's not a competition the Reds have mastered since returning to the EFL. I'm still anticipating a home win and it would be nice to have a decent cup run. OUR PREDICTIONS: WREXHAM 1 HULL CITY 0 NICK HARRISON WREXHAM 2 HULL CITY 1 RICHARD WILLIAMS WREXHAM 2 HULL CITY 1 SHAUN DAVIES THE SCORES SO HARRISON 3; SHAUN DAVIES 3; RICHARD WILLIAMS 0

Russell Martin explains Rangers changes as one out injured
The pair were dropped from the side after the disappointment of drawing with Motherwell and featured off the bench against Viktoria Plzen and Dundee. However, the manager was pleased with their contribution in those games and both are back in from the start for tonight's second leg against the Czechs. Max Aarons has also picked up a knock which is a factor in Tavernier playing, with Martin revealing the Bournemouth loanee was unavailable tonight but will be back to face Alloa Athletic on Saturday. He told BBC Scotland: "I think that is the right team to play tonight to win the game. Nico was fantastic when he came on Saturday, as was Tav, had a big moment for us and executed it. Read more: "Max picked up a little bit of a knock before the game on Saturday and got through it as best as he could, but it's actually set him back a little bit. "So he'll be fit for the weekend, but there was no point in bringing him to travel and he's now got a bit of time to recover now. So Tav and Nico really helped the team on Saturday and they're in tonight." As well as Aarons, the other player to drop out is midfielder Joe Rothwell. After initially partnering Raskin, the Englishman was preferred for recent games but has now been taken out. "He's come in, he's done great," Martin explained. "He's looked a bit tired on Saturday and we've just gone for energy. So we have two really good options there. They might end up on the pitch together at some point tonight. "But yeah, he's done great, but it's now Nico's turn and I've said that no one gets dropped, just be ready at any moment. And Tav and Nico have been really good in their response, so now Joe needs to do the same."
