Three things to look forward to at Rangers as pre-Jablonec training footage released

Rangers got to work ahead of the Conference League play-off tie against Jablonec on Thursday.

Derek McInnes took charge of the senior squad as they prepared for the first leg at Ibrox on 20 August.

Having been knocked out of the Europa League, the Gers still have a chance of keeping their European hopes alive this season.

The latest training ground footage from Auchenhowie has put forth some interesting prospects at Ibrox.

It looks like the Scottish manager has most of his squad fit and available for the game against the Czech club.

With new signings like Kosta Nedeljkovic also going through the paces, some interesting changes could be on the cards at the Glaswegian outfit.

Why Dujon Sterling should be worried at Rangers

Nedeljkovic could be a brilliant addition for McInnes at the Gers after completing a move from Aston Villa.

The 55-year-old head coach has admitted that the Light Blues are working to get the new right-back into their squad for the upcoming Conference League tie.

In the training footage posted by Rangers' official channel on 19 August, Nedeljkovic seems ready to immediately contribute at Ibrox.

McInnes expects the Serbia international to be in shape after featuring for Villa during pre-season.

Dujon Sterling will now be looking over his shoulder at the Glaswegian outfit.

In one instance during a two-touch training drill, the 26-year-old Englishman's first touch let him down.

Derek McInnes could soon have new game-changer at Ibrox

Rangers have made 11 signings this summer, with McInnes changing the look of the team from last season.

Especially in midfield, the Gers have made several additions in anticipation of Nicolas Raskin's departure.

For now the Belgium international is still at the Glaswegian outfit and so is Connor Barron.

It looks like the Scottish midfielder is finally ready to return to action after an injury derailed his season under Danny Rohl, putting in significant work during the latest training session.

McInnes could potentially have a key member of his core in Barron, who was one of the Govan side's best players in the previous campaign before his fitness issue.

It's also encouraging to see the ex-Hearts boss personally involved in some of the drills and fans in G51 will hope the Govan side can finally get going after their first win of the season against St Mirren.
