Handy for the airport too.The jet setting to Dubai doesn't seem to be working. I'd put hem up at the Ferry Inn and bus them to Arbroath every day.
If you cast your mind back to that season. When we came back from that winter break in good form and went on a winning run till we lost to the Mhanks in March. This is what we need to do next season after the break, come out the traps and beat teams.Take part in the Florida Cup and give the fans some fun because watching the team after these breaks isn’t any fun sadly (Braga aside).
It seems to me that the winter break isn't good for us. It seems to suck the life from us...also it seems to give us too much time to think. And this seems to lead to nerves, and caution.
What are the options though? Make it more like a holiday? Bonding, tactical video work, and some work on 3-5-2 etc?
Longer holiday and work at Rangers Training Centre?
What might help us stay focused, fit and switched on?

Why does FF have such an obsession with 3-5-2?
Agreed so Florida it is in January 2021! I’m inIf you cast your mind back to that season. When we came back from that winter break in good form and went on a winning run till we lost to the Mhanks in March. This is what we need to do next season after the break, come out the traps and beat teams.
If we are in a strong position like we were this year, I would give the squad 4-5 day break.
Then get them back into training and line up plenty friendly to keep the whole squad ticking over.
This abroad pish can do 1. Stay here and train or at furthest head down to England for a week. Play 1 or 2 friendlys. I'm sure plenty of bears would enjoy a trip down to England for a psf game.
Stay in Glasgow and arrange friendlies with scottish championship teams to keep the levels up. Job done. The last 2 winter breaks we have either:Is it too simplistic to say train in the environment you'll be playing in? More chance we'll be playing in wind and rain than a sunny Dubai climate.
With all the data and resources available these days it should be fairly obvious that what we have done the past two seasons isn’t working.Going abroad isn't a problem it is what you do is while they are there
No mini preseason would help

The players got 8-9 days off after playing 41 games and more if you include the internationals as well. We done pretty much what you've said 6 days training in Dubai with a friendly and then back at the training ground for 4 days training with a game and a friendly with some players used in the reserve bounce match as well.
