Who Rangers could face in Europa League last 16 as Ibrox readies for Battle of Britain blockbuster

Ibrox has heard some roars over the years but, perhaps, it has never been more visceral than when James Tavernier crashed home the equaliser to make it 2-2 against Borussia Dortmund.

Camera-shaking mayhem ensued.

It was a thrill ride of a night in Govan as Rangers knocked out the Europa League favourites and go into the hat for the last 16 for a third consecutive season.

The Premiership champions were bold and brave over both legs as they earned a dramatic 6-4 aggregate win over a side who currently sit second in the Bundesliga.

And that same front-footed style will have their opponents in the next round on high alert.

It's not an open draw, however, with Rangers guaranteed to face one of the eight group winners who received a bye in the next round.

And there are some pearlers in there, how does a trip to Monte Carlo to take on Monaco sound? Or perhaps the pick of the bunch is a Battle of Britain with David Moyes' West Ham United.

Record Sport runs the rule over the side who Gio van Bronckhorst's side can face next.

The team Rangers could face in the last 16

Red Star Belgrade ( Serbia)

Spartak Moscow (Russia)

Lyon (France)

Monaco (France)

West Ham (England)

Eintracht Frankfurt (Germany)

Galatasaray (Turkey)

Bayer Leverkusen (Germany)

When will the tie take place?

The round of 16 clashes will take place on March 10 and 17 with Rangers to be at home first before travelling for the second leg.

Anything to keep an eye on?

Yes, the presence of Spartak Moscow is one to definitely watch, nothing is off the table amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Many have called for Russia to be expelled from continental football.

FIFA and UEFA are both expected to take action against the country and that could mean bad news for Spartak.
