Nurnberg friendly for Gers

Fri 12 Jun, 03:37 PM


Rangers will meet Nurnberg in a friendly as part of their pre-season tour of Germany next month.

Walter Smith's men will take on the side recently promoted back to the Bundesliga at their 47,500-capacity Frankenstadion on Sunday, July 26.

The Clydesdale Bank Premier League champions will also play regional sides Sportfreunde Lotte 1929 and SC Wiedenbruck 2000 as preparation for the 2009/10 season.

However, their clash with the 2007 German Cup winners is the high profile match of their three warm-up fixtures.

Sportfreunde Lotte 1929 - Rangers' first opponents of the tour - are a team Smith took his side to play last summer in the North Rhine-Westphalia area

The match with Lotte, who were 10th in last season's Regionalliga West - the German fourth tier - is on Friday, July 24 at 7pm local time.

After the trip to Nuremberg, Gers will complete their schedule with a game at SC Wiedenbruck 2000 just 15km from their Marienfeld base.

Co-managed by Englishman Marc Hunt, Wiedenbruck play in their country's fifth tier and the match is on Tuesday, July 28.

It also kicks off at 7pm locally, while the starting time for the Nurnberg friendly has yet to be confirmed.
