Rangers boss Steven Gerrard set for Liverpool reunion in Europa League

Steven Gerrard is set for a Liverpool reunion in the Europa League after his Rangers side thrashed Willem II 4-0 in the Netherlands on Thursday night.

First half goals from James Tavernier and Ryan Kent set the Gers on their way before Filip Helander and Connor Goldson struck in the second period.

Gerrard will now be reunited with former Liverpool teammate Ryan Babel when Galatasaray arrive in Glasgow next week.

The Istanbul outfit progressed through the third qualifying round themselves after a strong victory over Croatians Hajduk Split.

Goals from Babel and Younes Behlanda were enough for the Turkish side to set up the tie which is due to be played at Ibrox on Thursday.

The Turkish giants also have big names such as Radamel Falcao and Arda Turan in their ranks, while a win for Gerrard’s side next week would see them book their place in the group stages.
