How Rangers lined up the last time they faced RB Leipzig 5 years on from sub zero reality check

It might only have been a friendly but there was a cold reality about the defeat on a sub-zero Sunday in east Germany.Rangers took on RB Leipzig in a winter break friendly as they geared up for the second half of the season.But the performance did little to warm them up with their hosts the only thing that was red-hot on a freezing day.Mark Warburton’s men were thumped 4-0 in the Red Bull Arena with Oliver Burke even getting on the scoresheet despite flopping during his stint there after a much-hyped £13 million move.The then Ibrox boss claimed it was a learning experience for his players as he looked to get the club back onto the European stage following a six-year absence.But just a month after that defeat the Englishman was given the bullet and his successor Pedro Caixinha took over, finishing third that season to reach the Europa League.Their return to continental competition, though, wasn’t much to shout about as they were embarrassed by Luxembourg minnows Progres Niederkorn.So that mid-season bounce game in Germany in January 2017 is a good reference point to look at just how far Rangers have progressed as they prepare to face RB Leipzig again - this time in Europa League semi-finals.It’s hard to believe just how far they have come in that relatively short space of time given they hadn’t even returned to the European stage following the club’s financial collapse.Here, Record Sport looks back at the team who took to the field for that 4-0 drubbing as Red Bull clipped their wings.Wes FoderinghamSpent five years at Ibrox after Mark Warburton signed him but played second fiddle to Allan McGregor when the hero keeper returned and left for Sheffield United two years ago.James TavernierStill going strong at Ibrox and RB
