The Light Blues will jet out to the United States tomorrow morning and will spend the next ten days in Charleston as preparations continue for the new Premiership campaign.

Boss Mark Warburton has made seven additions to his squad so far this summer as he has bolstered his ranks for a shot at the top flight title next term.

Matt Gilks, Matt Crooks, Clint Hill and Josh Windass are all part of the Gers’ travelling party as they get a chance to familiarise themselves with their new team-mates ahead of the big kick-off.

The Ibrox side will also take on Burnley as part of preparations for next season.
