6 Rangers standouts vs Hertha Berlin as dour friendly clash sees Gers lose

In a friendly match against Hertha Berlin on the Spanish coast,

Rangers manager Philippe Clement sent out 22 players,

but none of them were able to penetrate the German defence 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 travelling to La Manga in Spain for a winter training camp.

The Germans were playing the freshly demoted Hertha Berlin, one of the biggest teams in Germany,

and the match didn’t go as planned. John Lundstram and Rabbi Matondo had early chances

that worried the Hertha defence a little bit, but the German team persevered and

took the lead shortly before halftime through a goal from centre back Marc-Oliver Kempf.

Sam Lammers discusses his disastrous transfer history and goal total

while making a startling disclosure about Rangers.

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

In an attempt to give his second XI, which was made up of youth stars and backup players,

a run out, Clement made 11 changes at halftime. However, the second half started off lacking intensity,

and before much time had passed before Scott Wright’s foul was called, Clement was sent off.

Rangers never really threatened with a young team missing,

and Jack Butland held firm to keep the deficit to just one.

Other than Cyriel Dessers’ late half-chance, not much happened to try to win the game back.

Football Scotland takes a look at six standouts.

In southern Spain, the speedster was given the opportunity to start under Clement,

and he did not disappoint. got a blistering shot off early on,

driving into the box on his preferred right from the left wing to cause trouble for the Hertha defence.

Due to the Africa Cup of Nations, the Wales international offers

Rangers a reliable substitute for Abdallah Sima for the upcoming month and has been productive all season long.

James Tavernier

Tavernier made an impression in his role up the pitch,

playing far higher than he usually does in La Manga.

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.

Todd Cantwell

danced through the defence from the first minute, which was difficult to do on a bumpy ground.

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.

Rangers supporters can’t ask for too much from a friendly,

even though the team should have performed better in the final third

with Fabio Silva and Matondo combining in a new-look assault.

John Lundstram

firmly back into the starting lineup at this point and positioned himself in the middle of the pitch. He is the cornerstone of the Rangers team, relentless in his pushing and passing.

He dropped right in front of the back four as Rangers continued to press in the first half, demonstrating that. A player that any manager would love to have in his ranks.

Jack Butland

The custodian was only brought on at the beginning of the second half, but it was an incredible stop that allowed Hertha to go ahead just 1-0 as they counterattacked.

Although it’s always dangerous to read too much into exhibition matches for starting positions, Robby McCrorie doesn’t seem to have made much of a case for a starting position, and that’s not even his fault.

Butland’s expertise is invaluable and will play a major role in Rangers’ success later in the season.

Bailey Rice

A unusual first-team appearance for the young player with the Gers. Despite being just 17 years old, Rice has already made two appearances in the Premiership this season, so he hasn’t let himself down. He also plays for a team that hasn’t had a lot of playing time together.

He should have a respectable future ahead of him because Clement believes in him so early in the game; he’s definitely someone to keep an eye on.
