Rangers have confirmed they will play Bury and Wigan in pre-season friendlies.

Steven Gerrard's side will welcome Bury to Ibrox on Friday, July 6, six days before they return to European football for the first time since the 2011/12 season.

Gers then take on Wigan - back in the Sky Bet Championship having secured promotion from League One at the first attempt - on Sunday, July 29 in their final game before the Scottish Premiership gets underway on the weekend of August 4.

Rangers have not previously played either side but do have strong links with Wigan, who have recently signed former Gers winger Kal Naismith ahead of the new season.
