Michael Beale will be aiming to reward a number of exciting youth talents by seeing them up close in training over the coming weeks.
After another impressive runners-up finish in the Lowland League for a second consecutive season, there could be plenty of opportunity for Rangers youngsters to stake a claim to be part of Michael Beale’s first-team squad moving forward.
B-team head coach David McCallum and assistant Brian Gilmour have played an instrumental role in the development of certain players such as Adam Devine, Leon King and Alex Lowry who are now part of the senior set-up on a regular basis.
They will be hoping that other emerging top talents can follow in their footsteps this summer and impress Beale who is still likely to give youth a chance, despite facing a major squad rebuild during the close season.

9. Robbie Fraser
Age: 20 - Can the exciting left-back stake a claim for a first-team spot next season? Has captained the B-team to a runners-up finish in the Lowland League and has previously been included in first-team training. Out of contract this summer but offer plenty in attack and fits the exact mould of a modern day full-back.
10. Ross McCausland
Age: 19 - Another player to have tasted first-team action with a substitute appearance in the 3-1 Premiership win over Hearts on the final day of last season. The Northern Irish winger, who predominantly operates on the right, looks to be a superb talent.
11. Johnly Yfeko
Age: 18 - A standout academy performer, the ex-Leicester City youngster is another defender who has been named on the first-team bench on a few occasions without playing. Comfortable at centre-back or left-back, it will be interesting to see if he gets a chance to step up.
12. Kane Ritchie-Hosler
Age: 20 - The English-born former Manchester City youth midfielder has playing an important role in helping Dunfermline Athletic to the League One title this season, scoring two goals and providing three assists in 19 appearances. Rumours are that he could return to the club next term.
