Still, their deep run to the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals offered Gers fans something to cheer.
They’ve started pre season on a promising note, holding Club Brugge to a 2-2 draw and following it up with a 2-0 victory over Panathinaikos.
The side looks sharp, particularly in midfield control and attacking transitions, and appears to be settling into a rhythm early.
With competitive European qualifiers just around the corner, Rangers are taking these friendlies seriously.
The side is showing better defensive structure and fluid movement through the midfield, suggesting manager Russell Martin’s approach is taking hold.
Playing in front of the home crowd at Ibrox only adds to their confidence.

Since Rob Edwards replaced the well liked and respected Michael Carrick in the dugout, the team is still finding a style to play.
Their first two summer outings raised alarm bells: a 3-3 draw against Mansfield where they let a three goal lead slip, followed by a 2-0 loss to Bradford.
