Russell Martin's Rangers squad have been back in pre-season training for almost a month and they're just a week away from the real stuff getting started.
The Light Blues face Panathinaikos in a crunch Champions League qualifier at Ibrox next Tuesday.
New boss Martin has seven new players at his disposal, with winger Djeidi Gassama the latest new recruit.
There's been plenty of change on the women's team too with boss Jo Potter leaving her role.
They've also bid farewell to key players including Kirsty Maclean, Chelsea Cornet, Tessel Middag and Jane Ross.
There has, of course, also been the US takeover of the club.
But amid all of that change, a VERY familiar face has been spotted at the training centre.
None other than Sir Alex Ferguson.
The footie great, 83, of course had a two-year spell as a Rangers player - his boyhood club - between 1967 and 1969.
Sir Alex is of course much more famous for a glittering managerial career, in which he led Aberdeen to league title and European glory before going on to become the greatest Manchester United boss ever.

Govan-born Fergie has made the odd trip back to Ibrox in recent years.
In fact, he was a guest of honour just last month when he was given the honour of a tour at the Rangers Museum.
During his walk around the New Edmiston House shrine, Sir Alex spotted a letter he'd written to Dick Advocaat after the Gers' treble triumph back in 1999.
Just a few weeks on, Sir Alex has been back at Rangers AGAIN.
Rangers Women captain Nicola Docherty shared a picture of herself alongside the legendary boss in the training centre.
Buzzing Docherty posted the snap to her Instagram stories and said: "Met a legend today, Sir Alex!"
She also added: "His greatest quote - 'there was no way I could contemplate taking the England job. Can you imagine me doing that? A Scotsman?
'I always joked that I would take the position and relegate them: make them 150th rated country in the world, with Scotland 149'."
Ferguson revealed in his autobiography that he HAD been offered the chance to become England manager during his career.
Exactly what he was doing at the Rangers training centre remains to be seen.

Rangers royalty all have the same conversation as Russell Martin breaks out the big guns for Champions League shootout
Sir Alex Ferguson, John Greig and Richard Gough all got their message across to the current crop ahead of Champions League clash Russell Martin this week threw the doors open to three Ibrox icons. Now he hopes the visit of Sir Alex Ferguson, John Grieg and Richard Gough will inspire his new team to make the most of the window of opportunity that lies ahead for them tonight. The Rangers boss was only too happy to welcome legendary skippers Grieg and Gough into his Auchenhowie office this week. But the most famous face to drop by undoubtedly belonged to Fergie. The visit was arranged by Sir Alex's son Darren, who managed Martin during his playing days at Peterborough. A chance to pick the brains of one of the most decorated managers the game has ever known was a moment the new Ibrox boss simply couldn't pass up. But just as important he believes was the message sent to his players by the sight of three men who achieved it all - and in Grieg and Gough's case, while wearing a blue jersey - strutting along the training ground corridors. Martin wants his squad to realise that they too can become heroes to the Rangers support if they can only make a success of things. That all starts on Tuesday evening when they kick-off the new campaign against opening Champions League opponents Panathinaikos, where the former Southampton manager hopes to give his first proper demonstration of his vision for a winning Rangers side. Asked to detail what he was looking for, Martin said: 'For us to be dominant, in control, aggressive, fast, to outrun and outfight the opposition, I think we have to do that. 'We had two Rangers legends and a legend of the game this week who supports this club and they all had the same conversation with every single one about what this club means to them and we have to represent that as much as we can. 'That's to try to be as dominant as we possibly can in every aspect of the game. 'We had John Brown, Lee McCulloch, Ian Durrant at the [Hamilton bounce game] and it was great to see them too. 'The door is open to people who have had success here, they know what it takes, what the club is about. They support the club, they felt what it means to be here and be part of it. 'Anyone that can impart some wisdom on that and some experience, and people who have had big success here as well, is hugely helpful to me, to the staff, to the players. 'It's been great, the energy around the training ground. Seeing some of the players are in awe of these people is brilliant. 'It just reminds you that the players are human as well. They have people they look up to and they aspire to be like. This group will have a chance to create their own history, their own legacy and that has to be the message all the time. 'We have a chance to come here and do something really special and doing that and that has to be the aim for us this year.' Rangers have fallen well short of those aims in recent seasons. Seven new players have arrived this summer but as for the rest, they all bear the scars of those repeated failures. Does Martin fear those painful memories continue to dog his squad? 'I'll tell you tomorrow at 10 o'clock,' he said. 'I think it's the best test. It's sometimes not a true reflection, what we've seen in training, has been amazing. 'They've come with fresh energy, with willingness and openness to new ideas, to new demands, to maybe different rules to what they've had before and they've been great the way they've embraced it. 'And now the biggest challenge for them is to do it in front of 50,000 people with a game that means so much to so many people and, for any football player, I think it's the biggest test to be yourself in them situations. 'What we have seen over the last four weeks, the more chance we have of being successful. I hope they play with the same freedom, enjoyment and aggression and willingness to run.' With so much change from the boardroom to the dressing room taking place in recent weeks at Ibrox, Martin has pleaded for patience while his new team beds in. But with the former Scotland defender intent on implementing a new possession-based gameplan, he's hoping the punters cut him a bit more slack that they afforded him while booing his team off against pre-season opponents Club Brugge after just 45 minutes. He said: 'It's not all going to be plain sailing, there will be some bumpy moments but we have to make sure that everyone can understand and see what we are trying to achieve. 'I think the second half against Brugge did that, the first half did the opposite! "The second half, I think people started to see that. We'd have loved another game or two at Ibrox but the pitch wasn't ready. 'It is now, it's in good shape. We didn't want to jeopardise that. 'There will be times for a bit of patience and calm, but the patience needs to come when we have the ball in the opposition half, not near our own goal. 'So, I think that will be the message, we're going to need the supporters, they were amazing in the pre-season friendly second half, they've been brilliant whenever we've bumped into anyone around the city, they've been amazing. 'And they are the most important people and I hope they can feel the freshness and the energy in their team tomorrow night. 'But I hope that the fans will leave feeling excited about what's to come and start being a real connection. 'Because I think if we can be connected, the whole club, Ibrox, here, the supporters, if this club has that, with that energy, I think it's going to take some stopping. 'I think it's really powerful. But we have to all believe in something and that will be how much the players are willing to win, the hunger, the character, the desire to show. And I'm confident that we'll see that.'

Wiegman hints Williamson fit for England semi and says Carter ‘ready to perform'
There were concerns about centre-back Williamson's fitness after she rolled her ankle in extra time of Thursday's dramatic last-eight shoot-out victory over Sweden, but the Arsenal defender – alongside every other member of the squad – trained with the team on Monday morning. Carter, in a statement shared to her accounts on several platforms on Sunday, said she would be 'taking a step back' from social media, while Football Association CEO Mark Bullingham confirmed his organisation has involved UK police. Asked if she expected to have a full complement available for the semi in Geneva, England boss Wiegman said: 'That's what it looks like, yeah.' Full focus 🫡 — Lionesses (@Lionesses) July 21, 2025 And pressed further on what Williamson's readiness push said about her skipper, the Dutch boss replied: 'It says she really wants to play, and she did everything to recover as good as possible, and she has, so she could be training today. 'When she recovers well, she's available tomorrow.' England midfielder Georgia Stanway added: 'She's our captain. We would like her on the pitch as much as possible. She leads in communication and in performance, so to have her on the pitch is obviously what England need.' Williamson and Carter have both started every game of England's European title defence in Switzerland. On the abuse received by Carter, Wiegman said it was 'really sad that we have to be occupied by this. It's ridiculous. It's disgusting what's happening, and that goes beyond football, so we had to pay attention to that and support Jess.' — Jess Carter (@_JessCarter) July 20, 2025 Wiegman said she has had 'conversations' with Carter about her involvement in Tuesday's contest, adding: 'Although it's a hard situation, Jess is a very strong person, and she wants to move on, too, but she also felt, and so did we, that we had to address this. 'You can't just let it go. So she did, we did, and then we know that there's a match going on and we want to perform. We're ready to perform. She's ready to perform and compete, and that says a lot about her and about the team.' The Lionesses have collectively decided to stop 'taking the knee' ahead of kick-off, a symbolic anti-racism gesture that has become increasingly widespread, explaining in a statement on Monday: 'It is clear we and football need to find another way to tackle racism.' Stanway said: 'I think it's just to change it up. We felt like the knee was just a little repetitive. We felt like it comes to a point where the knee isn't doing what we want it to do. So now our decision is to stand, and hopefully that will bring up more conversation and get (people) talking about the topic.' 👀 And then there were four 👀#WEURO2025 — UEFA Women's EURO 2025 (@WEURO2025) July 19, 2025 England, fifth in the world, are eight places higher in FIFA's global rankings than Tuesday's opponents, and are unbeaten in all five of their recent meetings with Italy – all friendlies – with four wins, including last year's 5-1 victory. But though statistics may be on the defending champions' side, Wiegman said: 'I think it would be really disrespectful to Italy to think that we're the favourites. 'Complacency is just the biggest mistake you could make. We've seen how they've played. I don't think there's anything that we could think that we might be the favourite, but we have to be at our very, very best to win the game.'

Russell Martin wants ‘powerful' connection between his Rangers side and fans
The Ibrox head coach is determined to ensure that process takes shape in his first match in charge against Panathinaikos on Tuesday. Rangers take on the Greek side in the first leg of the Champions League second qualifying round at Ibrox and Martin hopes fans can quickly see the dominant, intense, aggressive team that forms his vision for his reign. The former MK Dons, Swansea and Southampton manager said: 'Every day I wake up and I'm honoured to be in this position. I feel extremely grateful for it. I'm excited by it and I will give it absolutely everything I've got. We all will. 'That's what this club demands, what the people demand, what the supporters demand, who will outstay all of us. I just want to put a team on the pitch that they are proud of. 'It has to start (on Tuesday) and they have to see something to be excited about and we have to see something to be excited about. The players have to feel something to be excited about and it's an amazing opportunity and game to do that. 'What we've seen in training has been amazing. They've come with fresh energy, with willingness and openness to new ideas, to new demands, to maybe different rules to what they've had before and they've been great the way they've embraced it. 'And now the biggest challenge for them is to do it in front of 50,000 people with a game that means so much to so many people. And, for any football player, I think it's the biggest test to be yourself in those situations. ⚽️ The winners of Rangers and Panathinaikos second qualifying round tie will face either FC Viktoria Plzeň or Servette FC in the @ChampionsLeague third qualifying round. — Rangers Football Club (@RangersFC) July 21, 2025 'What we have seen over the last four weeks, the more chance we have of being successful. I hope they play with the same freedom, enjoyment and aggression and willingness to run. 'For the team, it will accelerate the learning. That will improve, whatever happens, there's no doubt about it. 'But I think one of the things that has to come out is that the supporters will leave feeling positively about their team, their new-look team, the way it's going to start to shape up. 'We'll be by no means the finished articled, there's a lot of work that needs to go in, but in four weeks from what we've seen to now, the group has been great and they have to put that on the pitch. 'I hope that the fans will leave feeling excited about what's to come and (there will) start being a real connection. Because I think if we can be connected, the whole club, Ibrox, here, the supporters, if this club has that, with that energy, I think it's going to take some stopping. I think it's really powerful. 'But we have to all believe in something and that will be how much the players are willing to win, the hunger, the character, the desire to show. And I'm confident that we'll see that.' Martin's demand that his team play out from the back will ensure a different style to what Rangers fans have been accustomed to and the former Scotland hopes they can buy into that process. 'There will be times where it won't require much patience and there will be times where it will,' he said. 'It's not all going to be plain sailing, there will be some bumpy moments but we have to make sure that everyone can understand and see what we are trying to achieve and that the team has enough moments that people can feel excited about.'
