Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers won their last friendly of the summer on Sunday.
Michael Beale has reacted on Twitter to Rangers’ win over Derby County on Sunday.
The Gers edged out their English Championship counterparts with a narrow 1-0 victory at Ibrox yesterday.
In doing so, Rangers concluded their pre-season preparations and will now focus on Thursday’s second leg with Progres Niederkorn in Europa League qualifying, and the trip to Kilmarnock three days later.
The visit to Rugby Park will be the light Blues’ first Premiership game of the season, and Beale, one of Steven Gerrard’s first-team coaches, says the Rangers lads are ‘prepared, ready and excited’ for the year ahead.
It’s been a fantastic summer on and off the field for Rangers.
Not only has Gerrard made eight class signings, but the 39-year-old’s team scored 23 goals across seven summer games – including Europa League qualifiers – and conceded just the one.
It makes for rather ominous reading from a Celtic perspective and those on the green side of the Old Firm divide must be a tad wary.
