Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Rangers technical adviser, Fidelis Ilechukwu has stated that his team is not thinking about winning the Nigeria Premier Football League title this season.<\/p>\n

The Flying Antelopes currently top the NPFL standings with 55 points from 32 games.<\/p>\n

Remo Stars and defending champions Enyimba are also among the front runners for the title.<\/p>\n

Ilechukwu believed that the two clubs have the edge over Rangers in the title race.<\/p>\n

Rangers are out of the 2024 president Federation Cup after the defeat against Kano Pillars in the Round 64 games.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have said this on different platforms, and maybe I need to say this again. Winning the league is not the target for this season,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnyimba, Remo Stars and others have an advantage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is football for you. It happens sometimes. It is painful. A first-time exit in the very first round of the competition for us.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not happy but there is nothing we can do. I wish Kano Pillars the best of luck.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe now have to focus on the league as we appeal to our fans for disappointing performance in the Federation Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n
