New Rangers signing Nicky Law has explained that club manager Ally McCoist has urged his team to concentrate on getting fitter and continue working “really” hard throughout the season.
Law – one of the seven additions made by the Gers this summer – started his pre-season training with the Ibrox giants at Murray Park this week.
“That was the first thing he said when he got us all together for the first meeting on the first day”, the 25-year-old midfielder told his club’s official site.
“He wants us a lot fitter and said we were going to work really hard in pre-season and throughout the season.

“But from the first day of training the balls were out and there was an emphasis on getting it down and playing with a tempo.”
The former Motherwell player also insisted that Rangers are emphasising attacking play in the upcoming season, and the players are looking forward to getting ready for the first game of the new season – against Brechin City on 10th August.
“You can see that with the signings and there were a lot of good attacking players already here as well”, Law said
“So the emphasis is going to be on attack and we will be fit, strong and ready for the first game when it comes.
“It will be high pressing and we’ll be working hard and harassing teams high up the pitch.”
McCoist’s side start their pre-season campaign on 13th July with a clash against League One side Bristol City.
They begin their season proper in the third tier of Scottish football, after clinching promotion. The Light Blues won the Scottish Third Division last season.
