Rangers discover Champions League play-off opponents as Giovanni van Bronckhorst to face old rivals

Rangers have learned it is PSV Eindhoven they will face in the Champions League play-off round.

Giovanni van Brockhorst' s men recovered from a two-goal deficit from last week's first-leg in Belgium to turn the tie around and move to within potentially 180 minutes of group stage football alongside Ange Postecoglou's and his Celtic side. Skipper James Tavernier opened the scoring from the penalty spot on the stroke of half-time before Antonio Colak's header from close range and another headed goal from Malik Tillman completed the stunning turnaround in the second period as the home side ran out 3-0 winners on the night and 3-2 on aggregate.

They now know that PSV stand in their way following tonight's return clash between the pair. The duo played out a 1-1 draw in France last week with the second meeting in the Netherlands ending in a 3-2 win for the home side. One-time Rangers linked Joey Veerman fired the hosts in front but goals from Guillermo Maripan and Wissam Ben Yedder turned the tie on its head to make it 3-2 but the home side grabbed a last-gasp goal through Erick Gutierrez to take the tie to extra-time.
