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.

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.
