John Souttar Rangers injury latest after recent surgery
Russell Martin will meet his squad for the first time at the club's training centre on Monday morning.
However, while he may be present in the building, Souttar will play no part in training, having undergone a hernia operation in London last week.
Souttar played the season to its conclusion for Rangers before pulling on a Scotland jersey in the latest set of international fixtures in June.
While the timing of his surgery is perhaps surprising, Souttar is understood to be on track to return to first-team training in enough time to prepare him for the Champions League second-round qualifier against Panathinaikos.
The first leg against the Greek side will take place at Ibrox on either July 22 or 23, with the Glasgow giants travelling for the return leg a week later.

Arsenal reach striker 'agreement' as Thomas Partey transfer decision made
Arsenal have been pushing to sign a striker all summer and it appears that boss Mikel Arteta may now finally get his wish as he bolsters his squad ahead of another title challenge Arsenal are finally closing in on making the striker signing they have been desperate for all summer. The Gunners have finished as runners-up in the Premier League for three years in succession. Last season, they saw Liverpool leap ahead of them in the title race as Manchester City faltered. Many pundits have pointed to their lack of a regular goalscorer as the reason the Gunners have fallen short. Boss Mikel Arteta made it a priority for this summer's window, with Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko their top targets. It appears they have now made their choice between that duo with a deal now close. That news comes as former star Jack Wilshere issued his advice to Arteta for who to target this summer. And Thomas Partey is being pursued by Fenerbahce as Arsenal await a decision over his future. Partey is a free agent and has an offer from the Gunners on the table, though his yet to signal his views on his future. Here Mirror Football rounds up all the latest Arsenal transfer news. Striker agreement reached Arsenal have reached an agreement with Benjamin Sesko over personal terms in a major step towards completing a deal for the RB Leipzig star. The 22-year-old has long been one of their top targets. And it has now been claimed by German outlet Sport Bild that the Gunners and Sesko have 'reached an agreement' over contract terms. While that agreement has been reached, Arsenal still need to negotiate with Leipzig. It is said that the Premier League side have signalled they will table an offer that is 'in line' with Leipzig's £60million price tag. The Bundesliga side are prepared to sell their star striker after missing out on European qualification. Wilshere shares tip Former Arsenal star Jack Wilshere has urged Mikel Arteta to push for Alexander Isak this summer. That is despite the Gunners' interest in the Newcastle man seeming to have faded in recent weeks. 'I think they need a nine. You can add depth around the squad, but right now it's a nine. I would go for Isak, but I think that is probably a bit unattainable," Wilshere said. He has experience of the league, he's scored goals, helped a team get into the Champions League. I would go for Isak as number one." Mourinho eyes Partey Jose Mourinho is eyeing a move for Thomas Partey as his contract counts down to expiration. Party will be a free agent from the start of July and is yet to put pen to paper on a new deal with the Gunners. And according to Fotomac, Fenerbahce boss Mourinho is looking to take advantage of that uncertainty. It is claimed that the Turkish giants have been approached by Partey's representatives as they search for prospective clubs. The final decision will rest with Mourinho, who is in the market for a midfielder. Partey would be interested in a move to Istanbul and if he did move on, it would be a bitter blow for Arsenal.

Thomas Frank calls for unity at Tottenham after replacing Ange Postecoglou
Speaking for the first time since replacing Ange Postecoglou – who was sacked just weeks after delivering Spurs their first trophy in 17 years – the former Brentford boss said there would need to be 'alignment' among the club's hierarchy, including with chairman Daniel Levy, if the team is to build on their Europa League triumph. Spurs will play in the Champions League for the first time since 2022 courtesy of victory over Manchester United in Bilbao in May, despite recording their lowest finish of 17th in the Premier League. The Frank Philosophy 🧠 — Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) June 18, 2025 It was this fact, together with 22 league defeats, that persuaded Levy to dismiss Postecoglou and turn to Frank. 'I've only heard good stuff about all the people here, the training ground, the players,' Frank told the club's website. 'It's a good squad. It's an exciting, massive club with massive potential. So, it's just super, super exciting. 'I had very good conversations and meetings with Daniel Levy, (chief executive) Vinai Venkatesham and (technical director) Johan Lange where we discussed everything in depth, details about the club structure, processes, and of course I came with my views on things, how I saw it, my ideas, and the way I want to do things and how I try to build a team and a club.' There has been open hostility between Levy and supporters in recent seasons with fans largely directing their ire at the chairman rather than Postecoglou last season as the defeats mounted. Levy has at different times been accused of failing to invest in the team and has been blamed for the club's apparent drift since they reached the Champions League final in 2019. Frank is Spurs' fifth permanent appointment since Mauricio Pochettino, who led them to that final in Madrid, was sacked five months later. 'If you want to do something quick, you can go alone,' said Frank, who led Brentford to 10th place last season following finishes of 13th, ninth and 16th in their three previous Premier League seasons. He also brought them into the top flight via the play-offs in 2021. 'If you want to do something big or achieve something big, you go together. So, it's definitely about doing things together – me, the staff, the players. 'I think alignment is key, from top to bottom. Of course it starts from Daniel, Vinai, Johan, and me, and the more the four of us can be aligned, just like a unit, an unbreakable unit, the stronger we'll be. 'There'll be ups and downs. Right now, it's a fairytale. Everyone's happy, the sun is shining, it's fantastic.'
