Former Rangers player Alan Hutton admits he would not have been happy as a current member of the squad being hauled up Conic Hill, or forced into a cold water dip in Loch Lomond.
Russell Martin's extra-curricular activities for his Rangers first team squad this week certainly caught the headlines after grainy photos emerged of the team open water swimming close to Balmaha, before stomping up the nearby Conic Hill.
It comes as Rangers remain winless in the Scottish Premiership this season after last weekend's 2-0 defeat to Hearts at Ibrox.
They will host the other capital club, Hibernian, on home soil again this Saturday.
Protests are scheduled to take place an hour before the game, with the Union Bears and other supporters' groups aiming to make their feelings against Martin known to Andrew Cavenagh et all who will be present at the match.
The American chairman's presence would worry Hutton if he were in Martin's shoes as head coach.
And the ex-Gers right-back didn't have many good things to say about the team's recent daytrip to the Bonnie Banks.
Speaking at the draw for the Ladbrokes Ayr Gold Cup, the former Ibrox defender said: "I wouldn’t have been happy, I'm not going to lie. I can't sit here and say I would have enjoyed that. It's not really my type of thing, but I understand.

"I've been in teams before where they take you out paintballing or you go on a night out and you try and get the team together, bonding sessions, all that.
"I just feel that the way the situation is at this moment in time, everybody's going to jump on it, which they did, because they're looking at it saying, really you should be out training, you should be working hard on what you want to do for the weekend.
"I've watched a number of Hibs games this season, they're good and they'll go for it.
"They won't... the fear factor of Rangers isn't there for me anymore. So when teams turn up, they feel we can get something, you keep the crowd quiet, they'll turn, and then we can go and kind of press on."
