Rangers draw tough but glamorous Champions League group

Rangers have learned their Champions League fate

Rangers have been drawn in a tough Champions League group A that includes Liverpool, Ajax and Napoli.

The Ibrox side were fourth seeds out of the hat in Istanbul after beating PSV 1-0 in Eindhoven last night to qualify.

A goal from Antonio Colak was enough to see Giovanni van Bronkckhorst's team to a famous victory having drawn the first leg 2-2 in Govan.

It's the first time in 12 years Rangers have graced Europe's elite competition.

Walter Smith was the last manager to achieve the feat and van Bronckhorst will now want to match the achievement of Alex McLeish as the only man to lead Rangers past the group stage. 

The matches will be played on the following dates with specific times to follow:

Matchday 1: Tuesday 6th-Wednesday 7th September 2022

Matchday 2: Tuesday 13th-Wednesday 14th September 2022

Matchday 3: Tuesday 4th-Wednesday 5th October 2022

Matchday 4: Tuesday 11th-Wednesday 12th October 2022

Matchday 5: Tuesday 25th-Wednesday 26th October 2022

Matchday 6: Tuesday 1st-Wednesday 2nd November 2022
