Rangers duo Kevin Thomson and Maurice Edu are struggling to win their races to be fit for the new season.

Thomson is recovering after having cruciate ligament surgery while Edu injured his knee in the closing weeks of last season.

Thomson told the Gers' official website: "A wee bit of endurance under my belt over the summer will hopefully stand me in good stead.

"I've never shirked hard work. I prefer to run on the park than around hills, but I know where I'm at, I know I need to get fit. The boys have had a long, hard season and deserve their break.

Meanwhile, Edu said of his knee surgery: "All parties involved were happy with the result. I'm anxious to start my rehab.

"Now is the annoying part as I'm on crutches for four to six weeks. I'm out for possibly three months, but I'll get some time to go home and see my family for a little bit, so that's good.

"I'm just staying positive and keeping my head down. I need to get fit and get my knee healthy and strong.

"From there, I just need to fight hard and earn a spot back in the starting line-up because this season was great."
