Rangers manager Steven Gerrard is ready to trim his first-team squad following their pre-season training camp.
The Gers rounded off a trip to Portugal with a 2-0 training-ground win over Mansfield on Saturday when 30 players were handed action.
Gerrard had already left the likes of Graham Dorrans, Eros Grezda, Jordan Rossiter, Jason Holt and Kyle Lafferty at home when flying out to the Algarve.
Young players such as Jamie Barjonas and Josh McPake supplemented the squad in Portugal but Gerrard will tighten things up as he prepares for their Europa League opener on July 11.
"We have naturally got a big squad at the moment so some will drop out and by doing that, the quality will rise as well,” Gerrard told Rangers TV. "That isn't to say not everyone has quality - it just naturally happens when you have less numbers.
