Brighton boss Graham Potter was pleased with their 0-0 draw against friendly opponents Rangers.
Antef Tsoungui, Marc Leonard, Ayo Tanimowo and James Furlong all got 45 minutes each having been regulars for the under-23s last season, while Florin Andone and Solly March were back in first team action after long spells out with injury.
“I thought we were more in it in the first half than the second, as we had a lot of young players out there in the second," Potter told his club's website. “Solly [March] and Florin [Andone] had their first 45 minutes for a while, so if you look at it over the whole it was a good exercise for us especially if you consider the players who weren't available.
“It was a really good workout against a well organised team in a fantastic stadium in front of supporters who generated a brilliant atmosphere. It was a proper game.
“Now we just need to get the work into the boys and importantly they've come through unscathed."
Enock Mwepu and Kjell Scherpen got their first taste of action in Albion shirts having joined the club earlier in the summer.
“It's a first 45 minutes for them and it's nice to get that out the way, we can build from there," added Potter.
“They understand the team and what we're asking of them. They need time to adapt, but it's good for them to have that time to settle in to their Brighton & Hove Albion careers."
