January Rangers signing Mateusz Zukowski has been putting in the hard yards for the club as pictures detail his monumental five-month transformation.
Watching supporters have been left stunned by the progress made by the 21-year-old in this regard as they compare snaps from February to July.
It’s mightily impressive and a testament to both the hard work put in by Zukowski and the strength and conditioning training offered by the world class coaches and facilities at Ibrox.
The Polish U21 international right-back was signed in the winter window as a replacement for the outgoing Scotland international Nathan Patterson.
The kid will always struggle to break into the Rangers team so long as James Tavernier is at the club but his target at Ibrox is to improve and develop into a player who can one day rival the Gers skipper.
By bulking up this will go some way to doing just that as Mateusz Zukowski literally arms himself with the tools to compete with the physicality of football at the top level.
Rangers fans joke about Mateusz Zukowski drinking the Ibrox coffee
Gers fans have also been joking about Mateusz Zukowski potentially drinking that infamous Rangers coffee which has apparently helped the first-team bulk up and given them extra stamina.
Plenty of players who have come through at Ibrox has gone through a physical transformation with the likes of Nathan Patterson and Nikola Katic amongst the most noticeable.
This led to an online Celtic fan-led conspiracy claiming that Rangers were doping their players via the coffee at the Ibrox club’s Training Centre during the 55-winning season.

Since then Rangers fans have had a chuckle at this particular Celtic supporter’s expense and it continues to raise laughs to this day, with the pictures of Mateusz Zukowski a prime example.
Even Mark Hateley couldn’t resist taking a dig at the time.
That supercharged coffee appears to be working wonders for Mateusz Zukowksi, who will have one eye on making a greater impact at Rangers this season.
Rangers paid Lechia Gdańsk a reported £400k to sign the right-back in January after having the chance to settle in Scotland, now’s the time to make a proper impression.
Meanwhile, one move is reportedly nearing completion as an international target prepares to jet into Scotland with a view to a having a medical.
