Scottish Sun photos of the famous Govan ground show work under way as turf maintenance firm Allgrass make sure the Ibrox pitch is ship shape for the start of next season.
Like last season, the Gers face a punishing series of qualifying ties as they bid to play their way into the £40m bounty of the all new Champions League for the first time.
And unlike last season they will be in their own stadium when they take part in them.
Last season’s efforts, you will remember, ended when a 10-man Gers side crashed out to Dynamo Kyiv at Hampden following the dismissal of Brazilian full back Jefte.

The Light Blues were left scrambling for a temporary home last summer when it was revealed that shipping delays would mean Ibrox would be out of action for the start of the new season.
Originally there was a suggestion the Gers would use Murrayfield in Edinburgh, the home of Scottish rugby.
But eventually a deal was struck with the SFA to use the national stadium in the south-east of Glasgow with a new pitch was put down last month in preparation for Rangers using the stadium.
Once back at Ibrox, the Gers went on to perform with credit in the Europa League but the incoming regime at Rangers have big plans – and would love the Champions League cash to bankroll it.
In the short term Rangers have employed the services of turf maintenance firm Allgrass to make sure the Ibrox playing surface is in tip top shape for the opening of hostilities.
No expense is being spared, with the same firm also recently sharing images on social media freshly seeded soil for growing new grass for training pitches at Auchenhowie.
All Grass Turfcare wrote on X: “Two more pitches ready for seeding this morning at Rangers FC training ground.”
The same form also work regularly across the city at Celtic – and for the Scottish Rugby Union at Murrayfield.
