6 Rangers standouts vs Hertha Berlin as dour friendly clash sees Gers fail to breach German side.

Rangers manager Philippe Clement sent out 22 players for their friendly match against Hertha Berlin on the Spanish coast, but none of them were able to penetrate the German defense as they lost 1-0.

The current Scottish January break provided a welcome relief from the demanding winter calendar, allowing clubs to take time off over the next few weeks. The Gers chose to take advantage of the mild weather by traveling to La Manga in Spain for a winter training camp.

It saw a matchup against German giants Hertha Berlin – recently relegated from the Bundesliga – though the game didn’t quite go as the Gers planned. A strong start saw John Lundstram and Rabbi Matondo have efforts on goal that somewhat troubled the Hertha defense, but the side from the German capital stood strong and took the lead just before half-time with a goal from center-back Marc-Oliver Kempf.

Philippe Clement receives a red card in a Rangers game, and the boss is furious at Scott Wright’s foul call.

The Wales international certainly gives Rangers a solid backup for Abdallah Sima over the next month due to the Africa Cup of Nations, whilst also proving fruitful throughout the season. Tavernier played a lot higher than he is used to playing in La Manga, and he impressed somewhat in his role up the pitch.

The captain, who is typically quite wide on the wings and can cause havoc with his deep crosses, was essentially playing as a right winger for the Gers this time, and some deft play with Dujon Sterling nearly created some opportunities. danced past the defense from the first minute, which was difficult to accomplish on a bumpy pitch.

He clearly has talent, and this performance together with Philippe Clement’s trust to start him, demonstrate that he is a key component of the Belgian’s starting lineup plans.
