With last season's Europa League heartbreak firmly in the rear-view mirror, Rangers have been hard at work in Portugal as Gio van Bronckhorst gets his troops ready for the new season.
They've been sweating it out in the searing Algarve heat and Saturday's friendly with Sunderland will give the boss his first glimpse at at least one new signing in action. Antonio Colak has been involved right away after sealing his move from PAOK on Thursday and he'll be keen to catch the boss' eye.
It may be just as well he's available as Alfredo Morelos is being eased back in after a prolonged break, while Kemar Roofe was nowhere to be seen after a fresh injury scare. The same goes for new arrival John Souttar who was posted missing after an issue of his own.
