It's the friendliest of pre-season friendlies at Ibrox but there is also some serious business for Rangers and Michael Beale.
The Light Blues and Hamburg share a link that spans more than four decades to when the clubs played a pair of friendlies back in the 1970s.
The clubs signed an agreement to become official partner clubs a couple of years ago and now they will go head to head on the pitch, something a legend of both clubs - Jorg Albertz - has this week called upon to happen on an annual basis.
The travelling Hamburg fans enjoyed a special reception in Edmiston House on the eve of today's game. But it won't all be harmony and handshakes with the German second tier side.
