6 things we spotted at Rangers pre season camp as Roofe steps up return bid and Sakala gives new signing the giggles

Michael Beale is putting his side through their paces in a remote German location and he'll hope it pays dividends for his Rangers silverware hopes.

The Ibrox boss is in the midst of a rebuild ahead of his first full season as manager and with it has come a whole host of signings, the most recent being Nigerian international Cyriel Dessers. His squad are currently in Germany for a boot camp and more fitness work ahead of the new season, which will include a tilt at taking the Premiership title off Celtic and aiming to achieve Champions League group stage football.

From key men stepping up their injury comeback bids to new stars integrating with the group, there's been plenty to pick up on as Rangers TV provided a behind the scenes look at a day in the life of the Light Blues camp in Germany. Here are six things we spotted.

Credited in some quarters as the tactical brain behind the club's last title triumphy in 2021, a big question asked about Beale when arriving as boss was how involved would he be in training sessions. And it would appear he's heavily in the mix.

Most clips show the boss barking instructions and drills to his players before sessions begin. Alongside taking a leading role in recruitment, Beale is showing he's not afraid to get into the nitty gritty of Ibrox work.

Fashion Sakala is rarely spotted without a smile on his face so perhaps it is of no surprise that he's the happy face welcoming Rangers' newest forwards. Dessers has arrived to beef up the forward line and the Zambian has been there to greet him, alongside Abdallah Sima.

They can be spotted sharing a laugh and a joke before the day's gym work. The fight to get a spot in Beale's starting XI though will be a far more serious matter..
