Manuel Pellegrini's return to Ibrox Stadium will conjure up memories for Rangers fans of a time when they were rubbing shoulders with Europe's elite.

The wily Chilean boss was in charge of Villarreal when the Spanish side took on Alex McLeish's Light Blues in the last-16 of the Champions League - the first time a Scottish side had reached the knockout stage of the competition.

It ended in disappointment for Rangers after they went out on away goals following two almighty tussles. Now Pellegrini is back in Govan with another Spanish side, Real Betis.

It might only be the Europa League this time but it's still a huge game for Rangers and Michael Beale. The Ibrox side showed a response to their Old Firm derby defeat prior to the international break as they returned to win at St Johnstone.
