Warburton admits Rangers fans won’t see their strongest team in action until the league season kicks off against Hamilton at Ibrox on August 6.
Joey Barton and Niko Kranjcar are set to sit out the cup tie at Motherwell on July 16 as they continue their build-up to full fitness.
Warburton added: “Joey probably won’t play on the 16th and it’s the same with Niko and Jordan Rossiter.
I’m hoping by the Burnley friendly on July 30 we can play our strongest 11.”
Disappointing to hear but understandable wanting them to be fully fit for the Hamilton game. In Warburton we trust
