The Europa League Qualifying second round draw will see Rangers play either Cork City, Progrès Niederkorn or Cardiff Met in the second qualifying round of the Europa League.
That’s if the Ibrox side can get past Kosovan’s FC Prishtina or Gibraltar’s St. Josephs in QR1.
Gers fans had a bit of a mixed reaction to the draw for the first round, but with Luxembourg’s Progres Niederkorn a potential opponent in QR2, many fans want revenge.

Progres inflicted Rangers most embarrassing ever European defeat two seasons ago as Pedro Caixinha’s side fell to the Luxembourg minnows 2-1 on aggregate.
The 2-0 defeat in Luxembourg is up there with one of the worst footballing nights in Rangers’ history.
It’s no wonder many fans are hungry for revenge against the side. And you get the feeling some of the Rangers players might feel the same.
The option of a trip to Ireland and Cork City is another incredibly intriguing one. For less obvious reasons, Cork City have a recent history of reaching QR3 so could give us a game.
For more obvious reasons, Rangers in the Republic of Ireland, well, need I say more?
All of the five potential opponents on the road to QR3 are beatable and the draw favours the Ibrox club.
But with the likes of Wolves and Frankfurt in QR3, that round could be another story altogether.
