I wonder now derek mcinnes has been appointed our new manager when we'll hear what friendlies we'll be playing at Ibrox and obviously when we go to austria for our pre season camp ? I wonder if we'll hear a lot of things next week including possibly new signings ???

Read somewhere today we're playing West Ham at Ibrox on the 25th/26th July.

Hope we take more games than we did last season, woefully under prepaired last year.

People said last year two or three games was enough, but when you consider how many players the manager will need to look at, and combinations tried, then 2 or 3 definitely not enough.
18 Jun 2026 14:58:18
It's never just 2 or 3 games though, there's always loads of behind closed doors friendlies and inter team games.

Last season, I agree, was diabolical prep wise.
18 Jun 2026 15:02:41
But how many games were played with no fans last summer, Forever?
18 Jun 2026 15:37:17
Actually think it was a sensible move playing games with no fans last summer, look at the booing in the first friendly game at half time when three signings were getting introduced, I've still never seen the likes in my lifetime.

Season starts 2 weeks after World Cup, so going to be difficult to organise many.

Sws, I reckon next week we'll start to hear a lot more info. Players coming in, any more staff changes, and plans for pre season. Looking like a pretty quick turnaround this pre season, so will be interesting to see. I'm honestly excited, more than I was when Rohl was the manager tbh.

With people saying out of contract players agreed, and rumour of McInnes talks a while ago, and rumours of Danny also wanting out some time ago, could the OOC players be Hearts players? Maybe

2 or 3 friendly games is enough at Ibrox or away, but I would expect 5/6 behind closed doors.
