Rangers managed to bring winger Eros Grezda to Ibrox last week.
Rangers have headed into the international break off the back of their first defeat under Steven Gerrard, having been beaten 1-0 by Old Firm rivals Celtic on Sunday.
The Gers went 12 competitive games unbeaten under Gerrard but must now hit back for the first time, with Gerrard having almost two weeks to reflect on his first loss.
Some of his squad are away on international duty, such as new Colombia call-up Alfredo Morelos, and even new signing Eros Grezda, who only joined the club on Friday.
The new arrival from Osijek should give Gerrard some more quality out wide, and the 23-year-old is in the Albania squad to take on Israel and Scotland in the UEFA Nations League over the coming week.
Next Monday, Albania take on Scotland, and that means that Gerrard will get to see the pacey wide man in action against some Rangers players as well as Celtic star Kieran Tierney.
It has been a while since Tierney has been truly tested in an Old Firm game, as he dealt with Ryan Kent well on Sunday whilst also posing James Tavernier problems in a superb display.
Finding a player to really trouble Tierney defensively and stop him getting forward has to be key for Gerrard, and he will get a glimpse of the future when Grezda – a right-sided winger – directly challenges left back Tierney at Hampden Park.
If Grezda can impress, then Rangers will feel confident that he can torment Tierney when they meet Celtic again, and he can go a long way to pushing for immediate playing time with Rangers if he can star against Scotland in front of Gerrard next week.
