The Glasgow giants will face two notable European clubs in friendlies at Ibrox Stadium, setting the stage for a thrilling build-up to the new season.
The pre-season kicks off with a glamour fixture against Belgian powerhouse Club Brugge on Sunday, July 6, at 2:00 PM.

This match will serve as a final opportunity for Rangers to assess their squad before the competitive season begins.
These fixtures follow Rangers’ recent announcement of their 2024/25 Europa League campaign, where they faced top-tier clubs like Tottenham and Manchester United, reaching the quarter-finals before a narrow exit against Athletic Bilbao.
