Manager Eric Sinclair has re-signed the bulk of last year's squad although there have been several departures.

Darren Dalrymple has returned to senior football with Albion Rovers and Callum Scott will play for Stirling University where he has secured a sports scholarship.

A major boost however is the arrival of former Linlithgow Rose captain, and double Scottish Junior Cup winner, Danny Smith.

The centre-half joins in a player/coach capacity and will bring some much needed experience to the Rangers defence.

In addition, two signings have been made from Campsie Black Watch - Joe Barclay, a forward, and Paul Hamilton, a midfielder.

Kenny McLellan from Bannockburn Amateurs, who has had senior experience at Dunfermline, has also joined the Duncansfield club.

Other signings are likely in the near future as boss Sinclair plots a quick return to the Superleague First Division.

Meanwhile, three pre-season friendlies have been arranged.

Firstly, Darvel visit on Saturday, July 24, kick-off 2pm. Armadale then come to Duncansfield on Wednesday, July 27, kick-off 7.15pm. And finally, Rangers host Livingston Juniors on Saturday, July 31, kick-off 2pm.

The club's AGM was held on June 13 and there were no changes in the main posts of the committee.

Stuart Dunbar Jnr and Russell McKay were elected to life membership in recognition of their service to the club.
