Danilo pictured in Rangers training as injured trio return

Danilo has been spotted training with his Rangers teammates as they returned for pre-season this week.

Philippe Clement and his staff have been putting their players through their paces at Auchenhowie after their recent four-week upon the conclusion of the 2023/24 campaign.

Brazilian forward Danilo was ruled out for the vast majority of his debut season last term with a variety of injury issues.

But eagle-eyed fans have spotted that the 25-year-old - who cost the Scottish Premiership club £6m last summer - has been involved in first-team training upon the players' return this week.

He's been joined by Connor Goldson and Oscar Cortes, who also had long-term injuries to overcome last season.

Photos shared on the club's official website show the trio in action, as they got to grips with their initial pre-season schedule.

Meanwhile, Alan Burrows has warned Rangers that Aberdeen are 'fully prepared' to go to an SPFL tribunal over the transfer of Connor Barron.

The Scotland Under-21 international last week joined the Ibrox club from their Scottish Premiership rivals upon the expiry of his contract at Pittodrie.

Despite being a free agent, due to the length of time Barron was developed in the Dons' academy set-up, they are owed compensation over the switch.

It's believed Rangers have made an offer of £500,000 for Barron to settle the deal, however, this is nowhere near the amount Aberdeen is seeking.

Dons chief executive Burrows spoke to the media this afternoon as he discussed various topics, including Barron's move to Glasgow.

And he insists a tribunal is the route they'll take if Rangers don't up their offer.

He said: "What happens in this situation is both clubs are effectively mandated to try to find a solution before some kind of arbitrary body, like the SPFL, would step in and set that value.

"Both clubs have to try to make counter proposals to each other. If they can't agree on a middle point, it then goes to the SPFL. That's the part of the process that's ongoing at the minute."
