Reports say that Rangers are currently third on the league table, with 61 points, with one outstanding match before the season ends on Sept. 7.
Kano Pillars and Lobi Stars FC are first and second with 64 and 63 points, respectively.
The coach is perharps hinging his hopes on the fact that Kano Pillars and Lobi Stars have tough away matches, while Rangers will be playing at home and hopes to win.
Emordi told newsmen that they were determined to win, adding that sitting in third place did not mean all hopes were lost.
``There is still hope, anything can happen, which is why we are not ruling out our chances. We believe we can still win, despite sitting third on the log.
``We are trailing the two teams, but it doesn’t mean there’s nothing at stake. We have our eyes set on winning and we believe God will see us through,” he said.
Emordi added that the Enugu Rangers plan was to stay focused on winning their final match and avoiding distractions from results elsewhere.
``I don’t care about other results, because we don’t want to get distracted by what is happening elsewhere. We just want to win on Friday.
``We want to fully play our part so that we will feel relieved that we gave our best till the very end,” he said.
The coach said that no plans had been concluded for next season’s campaign, adding that the team would wait till the end of the current season, before it would start strategising.
``We are not looking at next season yet because the current one has not ended. We can only start strategising after this season ends.
``When the season ends, we will assess our overall performance and look at areas that need to be redressed. Right now, winning our final game is what matters to us,” he said.
Reports say that Rangers FC will play at home to Sharks FC of Port Harcourt in the final league match of the season.
The first and second placed teams, Kano Pillars FC and Lobi Stars FC, will travel away to play Sunshine Stars FC of Akure and Kaduna United, respectively.
