Rangers return to action at the weekend for the first time since top flight Scottish football went on hiatus for the World Cup.

They take on Bayer Leverkusen in a friendly at Ibrox and a lot has changed since the last time the Light Blues took to the field.

Michael Beale is now in charge of the club, being appointed the 18th manager in the Gers' history last week.

The fixture against the Bundesliga side will be the first chance for supporters to catch a glimpse of what the Englishman's era in Govan is going to look like.
