Rangers manager Jo Potter is much happier with her side’s pre-season as compared to last year, although she admitted the international break in July wasn’t ideal.
Scotland played a double header against Slovakia and Serbia in the summer in the Nations League, with nine Rangers players involved in Pedro Martinez Losa’s squad.
“The pre-season that we had last year was a little bit stop-start, but we brought the girls in earlier this summer because of the international break,” Potter told club media.
“We can only do what we can do; we’ve reflected a lot and we feel we’ve got it near enough right. We’ve hit all the targets that we’ve wanted.”
Rangers have spent the last few days in a training camp out in Spain ahead of their SWPL opener against Aberdeen next weekend.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better facility. I managed to come out and have a look at it a couple of months ago, and I knew it would be spot on for exactly what we need.
“It’s been a real good fit for what we need at the start of the season. We’re never going to know until [the season] starts, but we’ve prepared the best that we can.
“Hopefully it comes to fruition when we get to the Aberdeen game and I have no doubt the players will be ready physically.”
Potter’s side will also have to contend with a Champions League qualification tie with Arsenal in the early weeks of the season.
“We’re mixing it up between league preparations and Champions League preparations, and we’ve matched it up pretty well.
“We’ve had a good week and we’re happy about it; we now need to ensure we’re preparing for Aberdeen when we get back to Scotland.
“We had to get a lot of work done and there’s been no rest for the wicked.”
