Rangers are guaranteed the parachute of Europa League group stage football if they are knocked out of the Champions League.
Michael Beale's men are looking to secure a seat at Europe's top table for the second season running beside rivals Celtic after reaching the competition proper last season after coming through the same process as this time around. Giovanni van Bronckhorst successfully navigated two two-legged ties and the new-look Beale side will need to do similar this time around. The Light Blues have already made six summer signings in the shape of Kieran Dowell, Dujon Sterling, Jack Butland, Abdallah Sima, Sam Lammers and Cyriel Dessers with Leon Balogun reported to be No7 as cover for the injured Leon King.
The Ibrox men will discover their first opponents on the Champions League qualifying journey on Monday, July 24 with the ties to be played over August 8/9 and August 15. The play-off round draw takes place the day before the first legs meaning Beale and Co would know the two opponents they'd need to overcome to reach the lucrative next stage.
