Rangers learn Europa League group stage rivals as Steven Gerrard's men avoid big guns

Rangers have been drawn against Benfica, Standard Liege and Lech Poznan in their Europa League group.

Steven Gerrard's side were seeded in pot 3 after their impressive 2-1 win over Galatasaray.

And they were able to get a favourable draw as they avoided the likes of Arsenal, Spurs, Napoli and Leverkusen.

The competition will get underway on the week beginning the October 19 and will run through until mid-December as Rangers prepare for a hectic winter run-in.

The Light Blues will be hoping to build on their success from last season as they reached the last 16 after navigating a tough group.

Group D: Benfica, Standard Liege, Rangers, Lech Poznan
