Rangers will host Hamburger SV in a pre-season friendly at Ibrox on Saturday. Both sides are heading into the match on the back of defeats with the hosts losing 2-1 to Newcastle United, while the German outfit were beaten 4-1 by RB Salzburg. The Teddy Bears had a trophy-less 2022-23 campaign, finishing second in the Scottish Premiership standings, seven points adrift of champions Celtic. The visitors, meanwhile, qualified for the promotion playoff courtesy of finishing third in the 2. Bundesliga standings, but failed to get the better of Stuttgart in the two-legged tie.

Rangers, ended their 2022-23 Scottish top flight campaign on a high, recording four wins and a draw from five games in the second phase, taking their points tally to 92. Nevertheless, the Gers were well short of Celtic, who collected a total of 99 points. On their return to action for the pre-season in July, the Light Blues defeated Hallescher 2-0 on July 14, before losing out to Premier League’s new heavyweights Newcastle on Wednesday. Michael Beale’s side lost out to the Magpies despite the fact that Sam Lammer got on the scoresheet. The 42-year-old tactician is preparing for his first full season in charge after replacing Giovanni Van Bronckhorst last November. The Teddy Bears have three more friendlies against Hamburger SV, Olympiacos and Hoffenheim, before beginning their 2023-24 Scottish Premiership campaign away to Kilmarnock early in August.

Hamburger SV, on the other hand, narrowly missed out on automatic promotion to the Bundesliga after finishing just a solitary point behind second-placed Darmstadt, who had collected 67 points from 34 second tier games. Nevertheless, the Red Shorts had a second shot at promotion via the playoffs, but were thrashed 6-1 by VFB Stuttgart who managed to extend their stay in the German top flight for at least one more season. The Dinosaur now once again have to start from the scratch and they have had a mixed pre-season so far, recording one win, one defeat and a draw from their three friendlies this month. Die Rothosen conceded three goals against RB Salzburg inside the opening 23 minutes last Saturday before new recruit Immanuel Pherai pulled one back on the half-hour mark. The Austrian outfit restored the three-goal cushion ten minutes into the second-half courtesy of a strike from Nene Dorgeles.
