Rangers will face Copenhagen at the Ibrox Stadium on Tuesday in a mid-season friendly clash between the two teams.
The home side have enjoyed a very solid Premiership campaign so far and will hope to return to action after the winter break with renewed vigor. They wrapped up their training camp in Spain on Saturday with a 1-0 defeat to Hertha Berlin, falling behind late in the first half following a corner kick from their German counterparts.
Following Tuesday's game, Rangers will return to competitive action at the weekend, facing Dumbarton in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup.
Copenhagen are also enjoying a winter break and will be looking to continue their title charge in the second half of the season. They have been out of action since mid-December, heading into the break after beating Galatasaray 1-0 in their last UEFA Champions League group game to advance to the knockout stages of the competition for the first time since the 2010-11 campaign.
After their trip to Scotland this week, the visitors will face Sparta Praha and AGF in more mid-season action before returning to competitive football next month.
