Rangers learn Europa League opponents after being handed Belgian opposition in round of 32

It's Royal Antwerp for Rangers after they were paired with the Belgians in the Europa League round of 32 draw.

Steven Gerrard's side topped Group D with an unbeaten record, beating Standard Liege and Lech Poznan home and away and drawing twice with POrtuguese cracks Benfica.

And their reward for doing so is a two-legged encounter with The Great Old De marginalen.

Ivan Leko's side side seventh in the Belgian top flight, and Rangers will surely fancy their chances over two legs.

The first leg will take place at Bosuilstadoin on Thursday 18 February, with the return at Ibrox week later on 25 February.

The Scottish Premiership leaders are at home to Kilmarnock the weekend prior to the first leg, with the fourth round of the Scottish Cup taking place between then and the return fixture.

When all is said and done, they'll hope to have their name in the hat for the Europa League last 16 draw, which is scheduled to take place the following day.
