Rangers will play a Leeds United side in a friendly on Tuesday.
Philippe Clement has confirmed half of his squad will be utilised in a bounce match against a second string select from the English Championship side this week.
The other half will instead be involved in two intense training sessions with the manager vowing the players could end up leaving the pitch "on their knees".

The Belgian boss revealed the extra pre-season friendly on Rangers TV as he prepares to fly back into Scotland following a camp in the Netherlands.
Rnagers drew 0-0 with Standard Liege and lost 2-1 to Ajax in their two friendlies in the Netherlands.
The Ibrox club had announced matches against Manchester United, Birmingham and Union Berlin in pre-season but the Leeds United bounce match was not public knowledge.

Asked for the plans as Rangers head back to Scotland to continue preparations, Clement said: "Tomorrow it will be a day off, I think everybody needs it because we have been working two weeks without a free day and everybody needs some energy.
"On Tuesday, it will be training for part of the group and part of the group will play a game against the second team of Leeds and then we are going to build towards the game on Saturday against Manchester United.
"On tactical things and also the physical level to raise it again. One part of the team will have the game to do that, the other part they will have two really intensive sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday that they will maybe go off the pitch on their knees.
"And then on Thursday/Friday to go down a bit to create some freshness towards the Manchester United game and to focus on everything - the physical level, the tactical things, the technical things and on the mental things to improve."
