Rangers fans have reacted with trepidation for their last-16 clash in the Europa League after being drawn with German giants Bayer Leverkusen.
Gers had been hoping for a slightly more palatable draw at this afternoon's event in Nyon. However former Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamann handed the Glasgow side a tough fixture.
