Rangers fans will be keen to see fresh faces when Philippe Clement names his team to face Dundee United this weekend.
The manager has a couple of injury issues in his squad with Ridvan Yilmaz not yet back in full training, Rabbi Matondo out for the next couple of months and Danilo needing a quick clean-up operation on his knee.
What the Gers boss will be excited about is the prospect of having Neraysho Kasanwirjo and Nedim Bajrami available for selection.
Nedim Bajrami passes Rangers number 10 audition
Bajrami will be hoping to make a good impression for Rangers after enjoying a solid international break with Albania.
The 25-year old playmaker started both games against Ukraine and Georgia, giving a glimpse into what he might produce in front of 50,000 fans at Ibrox.
Against Ukraine, Bajrami played on the left-wing but still displayed the technical ability that saw him spend the last few years in Serie A.
In a more even encounter against Georgia, Bajrami was picked in his preferred number 10 role, the position he will be expected to play for Rangers.
On the wing, the 28-times capped international was tasked with helping to get his team up the pitch, however, in the middle, his job looked noticeably different.
Bajrami would drop deep into midfield to link play but would also rotate with the wingers on either flank to cover if they drove inside.
He isn’t a dribbler, what he liked to do was pass and move.
Whenever the ball was in his vicinity, he would make himself available to receive a pass.
Again, as he did against Ukraine, his touch, control, passing and work rate was exemplary.
Nedim Bajrami might not be flashy, but he looks every inch a player who has played at the highest level.
Vaclav Cerny back on track with key Czechia contribution
Vaclav Cerny had a disappointing Old Firm with his lack of support from James Tavernier seeing space restricted and no overlapping option.
For Czechia against Ukraine, the on-loan winger looked sharp and was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet.
Playing on the right, he cut inside the box and fired a low, angled shot towards the far corner that was heading into the net only for Pavel Sulc to turn Ally McCoist and poach a tap-in.
Cerny won’t be too disappointed adding an assist to his international account.
The two forwards will be key members of Philippe Clement’s squad for the rest of the campaign.
A lot of experience left in the summer, but Bajrami and Cerny have plenty from their time in the top five leagues and at international level.
Hopefully, they will bring their form for their countries to the Light Blue of Rangers.
