Who can Rangers face in the Europa League knockout rounds? Potential opponents and fixture dates

Bruno Fernandes broke Rangers' hearts as Philippe Clement's wounded soldiers suffered a late defeat at Old Trafford.

But the Ibrox club's European journey is far from over this season as the Light Blues remain in pole position to at least reach the playoffs. Gers started the night in the top eight, which would've guaranteed them direct qualification into the last 16. But Manchester United's stopper-time winner saw the Govan side slide down into 13th.

Still, injury-ravaged Rangers can be immensely proud of their battling display after producing yet another impressive performance away from home in Europe. And fans can start planning for knockout stage Europa League action once again, with a top 24 finish all but wrapped up. One matchday still remains in the hotly contested competition, meaning plenty could - and will - still change, but we already know some of the sides Rangers could face - and who they definitely won't be meeting.

After making the final in the old format of the tournament three years ago, Rangers fans know what is possible - and will have their sights firmly set on making amends for that penalty shootout heartbreak against Eintracht Frankfurt. Here's what could still happen this year.

If Rangers can secure a top-eight finish, then they will advance straight into the round of 16, where they will play the winners of the playoffs. Currently, the Light Blues sit 13th which would give them a playoff tie against either old foes FC Midtjylland or Elfsborg. But plenty could still change on the final matchday - based on the current standings, however these are Rangers' potential play off round opponents if they remain seeded:

Whilst who Rangers could face will remain very much up in the air until the final
