West Ham to face Lyon as Rangers are drawn against Braga in the Europa League

West Ham will play Lyon in the quarter-finals of the Europa League after knocking out record six-time winners Sevilla.

The Hammers, who avoided an all-British clash with Rangers, will meet Eintracht Frankfurt or tournament favourites Barcelona in the semi-final were they to beat Lyon.

Rangers have a last-eight date with Braga, with the winners going through to a semi-final against RB Leipzig or Atalanta.

Tomas Soucek and Andriy Yarmolenko scored as West Ham overturned a first-leg deficit against Sevilla on Thursday for a memorable extra-time victory and passage through to their first European quarter-final since 1981.

Former West Ham midfielder Joe Cole told BT Sport: “I’m absolutely delighted. It could have been the glamour tie against Barcelona, and I think Rangers got the plum tie with Braga.

“But I think Lyon are struggling in France. They’re not what they were, and with the carrot of a Barcelona semi-final it sets it up lovely.

“It’s a lovely place to go. Brilliant stadium, history, and the West Ham fans would be booking their trip already I would imagine.”

David Moyes’ Premier League side will play Lyon at the London Stadium on April 7, with the return leg in France on April 14.

Rangers were paired with Braga, managed by former Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea boss Carlos Carvalhal, after beating Red Star Belgrade 4-2 on aggregate.

The Scottish club are in the last eight of the competition for the first time since losing the 2008 final to Zenit St Petersburg.

Rangers will travel to Portugal on April 7, with the second leg to be played at Ibrox a week later.

Barcelona meet Eintracht – the only side left in the competition to have won it, in 1980 – after dropping out of the Champions League before Christmas.
