Rangers face Manchester United and Tottenham in box-office Europa League draw

Rangers have learned their Europa League opponents for their first go at the new format after today's draw.

For the first time and like the Champions League and Conference League, the competition won't be played as a 'group phase' but instead a league. And instead of playing three teams home and away, they will play eight sides with the computer deciding which ones are home and which are away.

It all made for a convoluted draw but we got there in the end and the Ibrox side now know who they will be facing. They have been drawn against Tottenham (H), Manchester United (A), Lyon (H), Olympiacos (A), Union SG (H), Malmo (A), FCSB (H) and Nice (A).
