Michael Beale has revealed Rangers summer signing Cyriel Dessers will make his debut this weekend.

The striker, who joined from US Cremonese, will come into the fold against Hamburg at Ibrox on Saturday.

Dessers, 28, was not available to feature for Rangers against Newcastle in Allan McGregor's testimonial.

However, the Dutchman is in line to have his first taste of action at Ibrox this weekend.

And Rangers will be further boosted by returns for Kemar Roofe and Tom Lawrence this weekend.

Ahead of the match against Newcastle, Beale said: "We don't have everyone available tonight.

"But the good news is Cyriel Dessers, Kemar Roofe and Tom Lawrence will be available at the weekend.

"These next four games, this is it now, we are at the business end of pre-season."

Saluting McGregor ahead of the testimonial match, Beale added: "He rejoined the club in the summer of 2018 when I first came into the club. 

"His experience, his quality, his standards have been the background of all the good things that have happened since then.

"We know that he had a fantastic period with us before but a league winner, another European final and a Scottish Cup in this second part with the club.

"It was great to have him back in the building yesterday and training with the group. Lots of smiles and lots of reminiscing.

"He's just an unbelievable professional; to play the amount of games that he has, and also he has got a highlight reel for the ages.

"I think he is a modern-day icon for the club."
