The former Light Blues midfielder is relishing the opportunity to lace up his boots and take to the pitch at Braehead Arena, with the popular tournament back after a 33-year absence.
Rangers have been drawn in Group C, with manager Barry Ferguson and his assistant Ian Durrant getting their squad ready for games against St Mirren and Celtic on Saturday and Kilmarnock on Sunday.
And Macleod – who retired from football in 2022 at the age of 28 due to a knee injury - believes the return of the Sixes will be a huge occasion.
He said: “I'm really looking forward to it and really excited, to be honest, to get the chance to pull the jersey back on and the boots.
“I've enjoyed the last couple of years watching Rangers as a fan, so I'll enjoy putting the jersey back on.
“In football you can lose touch with people so it will be great to get back into a dressing room atmosphere, seeing how everyone is doing and walking on the pitch again.
"I think if you've ever been involved in professional football, the competitive edge just comes naturally. It'll be good to see that part come out again this weekend.
"It will be difficult, but the format of the games is a bit different; they are over short periods, and the pitch is a little bit tighter. We'll wait to see what the games are like.
“We kick off later than a couple of the other teams, so it will be good to watch them and get a feel for it. Hopefully, we go into the first game in a positive mindset."
At 32, Macleod is the youngest player in the Gers squad, and Ferguson will be hoping he can show glimpses of the talent that saw him rise through the club’s academy and into the first team, where he made 76 appearances and scored 16 goals between July 2012 and January 2015 before playing for Brentford, Wigan Athletic and Plymouth Argyle.
Lewis, who is now an academy coach at Rangers, added: “I might be the youngest player, but I'll probably be the oldest mover come the weekend!
“My injuries have been well documented, and I know my limitations. I'll just see what I can do and how I get on.
"It will be a pleasure [working under Barry]. I think anybody coming through at my age and supporting Rangers, we would have all looked up to Barry.
“I certainly looked up to him as a player coming through the academy, so I'm really looking forward to the occasion and being in amongst the squad.
“Durranty is another great character to have in the dressing room, but he is also a great coach as well.
“He helped me massively in my journey at Rangers, always giving me little bits of information. He is someone again that I really looked up to from a playing perspective."
The SPFL Tennent’s Sixes will take place on October 3 and 4 at Braehead Arena. You can secure your tickets here!
