Rangers in the Europa League draw LIVE as Ange heads to Ibrox and Man Utd blockbuster in group of death
Rangers landed TWO Battle of Britain ties in a Group of Death Europa League group stage draw that will see former Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou return to Ibrox Stadium.
It might be UEFA's second tier competition but there was nothing second rate about Rangers' section as they face games against English Premier League giants Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
In terms of marketing and ticket sales it's a dream draw for the Light Blues hierarchy but Philippe Clement might not be so chuffed in terms of trying to progress as the Belgian faces a daunting task.
French Ligue 1 duo Lyon and Nice will also face Rangers, with a trip to Athens to face Olympiacos and a home game against Romanian side FCSB.

The good news for Clement, his squad and the fans is that Rangers will be back at Ibrox Stadium for the start of the group stage next month after using Hampden as their temporary home at the start of the campaign.
