John Souttar has been seen training in Portugal as he continues his recovery from hernia surgery.
The centre-back underwent surgery after Scotland's games against Iceland and Liechtenstein, delaying his operation until after the domestic season.
This decision, approved by Rangers, led to concerns from fans about his availability for the Champions League qualifiers against Panathinaikos.
However, the club has remained optimistic, expecting the 28-year-old to be fit for the first leg on July 22.
Souttar has been making progress in his fitness journey, reportedly starting light running in Portugal.

He has now been seen training with former Rangers teammates John Lundstram and Tom Lawrence at the Campus in Quinta Do Lago, Algarve.
Lundstram shared a picture of the trio, grinning outside the facility, along with four blue love hearts.
The majority of the Rangers squad have returned to pre-season training at Auchenhowie, but Souttar has been given extra time to reach full fitness before joining them.
Rangers will be hopeful to see him back in action for the Champions League qualifiers against Panathinaikos on July 22.
