Who could Rangers face in the Europa League last 32?

Rangers are on course to qualify for the last 32 of the Europa League , with any positive result giving them passage into the next round.

Steven Gerrard will have every right to be feeling confident of progression - he has never tasted defeat at Ibrox in a European match.

There are myriad potential outcomes for the Gers but there is one potentially tasty tie we can 100 per cent rule out - a powderkeg Euro derby with Celtic.

That won't happen as UEFA rules that state clubs from the same association cannot be drawn against each other in the round of 32.

But the two clubs could face off in the last 16 as all seeding and country protection is revoked at that stage.

If Rangers win the group by beating Young Boys they could face any of the following teams as Europa League groups currently stand.
