Rangers were beaten 4-0 by RB Leipzig in a one-sided friendly in Germany on Sunday.

Timo Werner and Scotland international Oliver Burke put the hosts in front at the break and Yussuf Poulsen's second-half double added to Rangers' misery.

The visitors handed a debut to new loan signing Jon Toral but they fell behind after 21 minutes when Werner rounded goalkeeper Wes Foderingham to score.

Scotland winger Burke made it 2-0 before Poulsen took advantage of poor defending to slot home two close-range efforts to wrap up victory.
