Rangers beat Auerbach 5-1 in the first Wernersgruner Cup held in Auerbach earlier this afternoon.
The competition features the three clubs (the other one Erzgebirge Aue) playing 45 minute games against one another.
The game played in a town located in the old East Germany attracted a capacity crowd played in intense heat.
Rangers fielded Austrian Johannes Greissman on trial in centre defence.
Opening spell was far from exciting as Rangers treated the game as no more than a training session, but slackness in defence cost the Ibrox men dear in 20 minutes when Kai Joshel stabbed the ball home.
Rangers were behind for only two minutes, equalising when Michael Mols swept home a Fernando Ricksen pass.
60 seconds later Mols turned provider, finding new signing Nuno Capucho, who delightfully chipped the ball home to put the Gers 2-1 ahead.
Five minutes alter it was three when Mols again volleyed home having expertly killed a De Boer cross.
Rangers were well on top and in a game scheduled to last just 45 minutes Peter Lovenkrands made it 4-1 with six minutes remaining when he rounded the goalkeeper to convert a long De Boer pass.
Michael Mols completed his hat-trick and rounded off the scoring in 431 minutes when he converted Lovenkrands cross after Fernando Ricksen had freed the Dane wide on the left.
