Rangers see blockbuster Europa League final pathway set out as Mourinho, Man United and Spurs all lie in wait

Rangers will need to overcome a number of big European names if they are to make an audacious charge to the Europa League final.

The Old Firm club discovered their fate in Friday's draw in Nyon, Switzerland. Philippe Clement's men were joined by the likes of Manchester United, Tottenham, Roma, Lazio, Athletic Bilbao and Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce in the last-16 phase draw. Jordan Henderson's Ajax, meanwhile, survived a feisty two legs against Union Saint-Gilloise to make it this far.

Gers fans will look back at their run to the 2022 Europa League final in Seville as inspiration. Gio van Bronckhorst's side knocked out Borussia Dortmund and RB Liepzig en route to Seville. But they couldn't complete a Bundesliga hat trick with Eintracht Frankfurt, who are also in the last-16, triumphing on penalties. Philippe Clement has used Europe as a catharsis to put the shadow of poor domestic form behind them. Could another run to the final showpiece be on the cards?

Were they to make the semis, the Light Blues would face one of FCSB, Lyon, Real Sociedad or Manchester United, another former Mourinho team, if they make it through the quarter finals.

Rangers currently reside on the gold side of the draw. This means the teams at the other
