STEVEN GERRARD hopes Rangers will be able to complete their winter training camp in Dubai despite the rising Middle East tensions.
The Light Blues assembled in Dubai on Monday as Gerrard puts his players through their paces and fine tunes his preparations for the second half of the season.
But the trip comes amid an escalation in hostilities between the United States and Iran following the killing of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani earlier this week.

When asked about any ramifcations, Gerrard said: “I hope not but I will obviously listen to the people I need to if any information comes our way. We are obviously aware of what’s going in the world. If people come to us and we have to adjust then we will. But hopefully not.
“The players are on day three now and I think we have got them back tuned in. They are here to work and it will be a double session today. There will be a football morning and a running afternoon.
“We see it as a mini pre-season, if you like, to get the base for the second half of the season.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
