Rangers have discovered their opponents for the new 2024/25 Europa League league phase format after the draw in Monaco on Friday.
UEFA’s second tier competition has undergone a complete revamp in the same way the Champions League and Europa Conference League has too.
Rangers will compete in a 36-team league and will play against eight teams in their efforts to reach the knockout rounds of the tournament.
The Light Blues found themselves in Pot 1 and were drawn out of the bowl first in Monaco. The computer then threw up a number of tasty ties for fans to look forward to.
Here are Rangers’ Europa League league phase fixtures in full with the order of games yet to be confirmed by UEFA:
