Rangers discover their eight Europa League opponents

Rangers have discovered who they will face in the league phase of the Europa League.

Russell Martin's side will play eight games in UEFA's secondary club competition between September 24 and January 29 next year.

The Ibrox club dropped into the Europa League following their elimination from Champions League qualifying against Club Brugge on Wednesday.

Now, they know who they will face off against, having been drawn as one of the top seeds from Pot 1 of the draw.

And they've got a mixed bag in terms of the difficulty of their opponents, with both of Pot 1's top seeds - Roma and Porto - pulled out of the hat. 

The schedule for when the games will take place, and their kick-offs, will be announced soon.
