Pre-Season Excitement Peaks at Ibrox
Key Stats
– Hamburger SV’s Robert Glatzel scored 19 goals across all competitions in the last season, indicating a strong attacking threat.
– Despite a trophyless 2022-23 season, Rangers managed to maintain the second highest average rating in the Premiership.
In a weekend packed with exciting pre-season friendly encounters, Scottish powerhouses Rangers are set to play hosts to the German side, Hamburger SV. Both teams have experienced mixed fortunes in their preparatory games and are looking to regain their winning momentum ahead of the upcoming season.
In the aftermath of a 2022-23 season that witnessed Rangers finish without silverware and arch-nemesis Celtic clinch the domestic treble, the Scottish team has managed a single win, a draw, and a loss in their initial three pre-season encounters. Starting with a stalemate against Livingston, they emerged victorious against Hallescher FC in Germany, but failed to keep the momentum going against Newcastle United in a close 2-1 defeat at Ibrox.

A heated battle marked Allan McGregor’s testimonial, where Newcastle’s Miguel Almiron’s early goal was cancelled out by Rangers’ new addition, Sam Lammers. However, a late header from Harrison Ashby saw the Magpies steal the win. Despite the defeat, Rangers’ coach, Michael Beale, seems unperturbed at this stage, knowing there are three more friendly matches, including the one against Hamburger, for his side to regain their form and confidence.
Hamburger SV, akin to Rangers, have also recorded a mixed bag of results, having secured one win, a draw, and a loss in their three summer friendlies. Coming off a demoralising 4-1 defeat against Red Bull Salzburg, the German team is preparing to face Rangers for the first time since their 2-1 friendly win in November 2011, thanks to the efforts of Ivo Ilicevic and Son Heung-min.
Preparations and Player Performances
The upcoming match holds more significance than just a win or loss for both teams. As they continue their pre-season schedules, it will serve as a critical platform to evaluate players and strategies. The recent departure of the experienced Allan McGregor, and the home debuts of quintet Sammers, Jack Butland, Kieran Dowell, Abdallah Sima, and Leon Balogun, present new opportunities and challenges for the Rangers.
Hamburger, on the other hand, will look forward to the contributions from their new signings like Immanuel Pherai, Levin Oztunali, Guilherme Ramos, Dennis Hadzikadunic, and Ignace Van der Brempt. Their key striker Robert Glatzel, who scored 19 goals last season, could be pivotal for their attack, ably supported by wingers Ransford-Yeboah Konigsdorffer and Bakery Jatta.
