Ian Holloway will get the chance to run the rule over his players in Berlin

QPR have rearranged their pre-season friendly with Union Berlin for Monday after the initial match had to be abandoned due to torrential rain and thunderstorms in the German capital.

The R's game on Saturday against the Bundesliga second-tier team lasted just 13 minutes before the dreadful weather conditions gave the referee no choice but to call a halt to proceedings.

The rearranged fixture at the Stadion An Der Alten Forsterei will kick off at 5pm BST/ 6pm local time on Monday.

Despite the logistical problems caused by the delay, QPR boss Ian Holloway will at least get the opportunity to see his players tested against unfamiliar opposition as the countdown to the new season continues.

Rangers begin their Sky Bet Championship campaign at home to Reading in the league on August 5.
