Effects loop

Wanted to check here in the group about inputting a preamp pedal (to bypass the amps pre amp), and a noise gate into the effects loop. I have watched countless YouTube videos and can only find one or the other in the effects loop. My question is:

Which would go first into the effects loop? The pre amp pedal or noise gate? Figure the amp is going to need the noise gate in the effects loop once the preamp pedal is installed…(lots of gain).

Sorry, hope this makes sense. I have never used an effects loop but do know the just of where other pedals might work best in the chain. I would be using the 4 cable method for the noise gate. The preamp pedal and noise gate part just stumps me. Any help appreciated!
