jackrfc95 4,255 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 https://rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/europa-league-draw-preview/ Quote ALMOST six years on since Rangers’ last competitive European outing, continental football returns to Ibrox this season in the shape of the Europa League. It’s been a long and, at times, painful journey back to playing in a UEFA competition, but the excitement can at last begin in earnest on Monday with the draw for the first qualifying round. In all, 100 sides enter this stage, with Rangers in the top half of the draw as one of the 50 seeded clubs. Previously, the draw was roughly regionalised, however, it appears this will not be the case at this stage this year. Therefore, all of the Light Blues’ potential opponents are as follows: Siroki Brijeg – Bosnia and Herzegovina CS Fola Esch – Luxembourg Differdange 03 – Luxembourg Shkendija Tetovo – Macedonia Nova Gorica – Slovenia Sutjeska Niksic – Montenegro Pyunik Yerevan – Armenia Dunav Ruse – Bulgaria Partizani Tirana – Albania Mladost Lucani – Serbia Shamrock Rovers – Republic of Ireland Flora Tallinn – Estonia Chikhura Sachkhere – Georgia Lincoln Red Imps – Gibraltar FK Jelgava – Latvia SJK Seinäjoki – Finland Cork City – Republic of Ireland Zeta Golubovci – Montenegro B36 Torshavn – Faroe Islands MFK Ruzomberok – Slovakia Derry City – Republic of Ireland FK Liepaja – Latvia Zaria Balti – Moldova VPS Vaasa – Finland Valur Reykjavik – Iceland Vasas Budapest – Hungary Atlantas Klaipeda – Lithuania Suduva Marijampole – Lithuania SK Tirana – Albania Gandzasar Kapan – Armenia Torpedo Kutaisi – Georgia FK Trakai – Lithuania Tre Penne – San Marino Bala Town – Wales Dinamo Batumi – Georgia NSI Runavik – Faroe Islands Balzan FC – Malta Connah’s Quay – Wales Bangor City – Wales UE Santa Coloma – Andorra Progrès Niederkorn – Luxembourg Pelister Bitolan – Macedonia Folgore – San Marino Floriana – Malta Coleraine – Northern Ireland Ballymena United – Northern Ireland Sant Julià – Andorra KI Klaksvik – Faroe Islands St Joseph’s FC – Gibraltar FC Prishtina – Kosovo The draw for the second qualifying round will also be made tomorrow. This round features 66 teams (the 50 qualifying teams from the first qualifying round as well as 16 new entrants), and again is split into seeded and unseeded teams (33 of each). Rangers will be unseeded for this stage, with the 16 new entrants plus the winners of the 17 ties with the highest seeded clubs from the first qualifying rounds the seeded clubs in this instance. Aberdeen come in at this stage, who Gers obviously can’t face, meaning they could play one of these 11 teams… Utrecht – Netherlands Galatasaray – Turkey Luzern – Switzerland Mlada Boleslav – Czech Republic Panionios – Greece Astra Giurgiu – Romania Sturm Graz – Austria Hajduk Split – Croatia Apollon Limassol – Cyprus Brondby – Denmark Gabala – Azerbaijan …As well as the winners of the ties involving these 20 clubs from the first round, with the winners of the tie involving the seeded St Johnstone excluded. Maccabi Tel Aviv – Israel Midtjylland – Denmark Dinamo Minsk – Belarus Lech Poznań – Poland HJK Helsinki – Finland AIK Stockholm – Sweden Vojvodina – Serbia Videoton – Hungary AEL Limassol – Cyprus Shakhtyor Soligorsk – Belarus Slovan Bratislava – Slovakia Red Star Belgrade – Serbia Trenčín – Slovakia Skënderbeu Korçë – Albania Rheindorf Altach – Austria AEK Larnaca – Cyprus Inter Baku – Azerbaijan Beitar Jerusalem – Israel Ventspils – Latvia Odd – Norway Monday’s draw will be held in the House of European Football in Nyon, Switzerland. The order of the ties should also become clear at the same time (i.e home or away leg first). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its early for us and they are half way through there season , but we are Rangers if we cant beat the likes of them we shouldnt be in Europe I agree about some of our players but big Niko would stroll about against this lot I dont think waghorn and Halliday would start if Iam honest not saying they are the answer but if we dont have our new signings Miller and Hardie would score against this lot Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily back then we had the ability to come back to win 5-3. If we went down 3-0 this time we'd be fucked! PS I hope you're right about Halliday and Waghorn.
