THE draw for the last 32 of the Europa League has taken place, revealing that Rangers will play SC Braga in the first knockout stage.
The first leg will be played at Ibrox before the return fixure is played in Portugal the following week.
The ties are scheduled to go ahead on Thursday 20 February and Wednesday 26 February.
Rangers booked their place in the round of 32 - the first time the club had qualified for post-Christmas European football since 2011 - after finishing as runners-up to Porto in Group G.
Steven Gerrard's side confirmed their place in the knockout stages with a 1-1 draw with Young Boys in their final group stage fixture.
Rangers have not made it past the first knockout stage of a European tournament since 2011 when the Ibrox club reached the last 16 of the Europa League, only to be knocked out by Dutch side PSV Eindhoven.
