The club states this will 'provide a stern but excellent test' for Rangers given Union's status as a Champions League club last season, especially just one week out from kick-off in the Scottish Premiership.
These matches add to Rangers' already scheduled pre-season match against Manchester United at Murrayfield, Edinburgh next month.
