But there's also been a surprise appearance from an iconic footballing figure at the Ibrox club's Milngavie base. 2 Legendary footie boss Sir Alex Ferguson Credit: Getty 2 Sir Alex has been at the Rangers training ground Credit: INSTAGRAM/@NICDOC11 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. Rangers boss Russell Martin opens up on transfer plans as he delivers updates on Dessers and Igamane 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.
