Rangers learn Europa League semi-final opponents ahead of Braga showdown

Rangers will tonight attempt to reach the semi-final stage of the Europa League by overturning a 1-0 deficit in their quarter-final second leg against Braga.

Rangers also just missed out on the Champions League final in the competition's inaugural season in 1993 after finishing second in their group, just a point behind since discredited champions Marseille.
