Rangers are set to play Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League last 16 as the club prepares to continue its amazing run in the competition this season.
Rangers are the only side in the competition’s history to get from the first qualifying round to the last 16 and after the draw, supporters will be keen for the European adventure to continue.
The Ibrox side will face a tough test in the shape of the German outfit, who defeated Rangers’ group rivals Porto 5-2 on aggregate in the round of 32.
Currently 5th in the Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen dropped into the Europa League from the Champions League, finishing 3rd in a group containing Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Lokomotiv Moscow.
The matches are scheduled to take place on the 13th and 20th of March with the first leg set to take place at Ibrox Stadium.
Rangers booked their place in the Europa League last 16 thanks to a stunning 4-2 aggregate win over on-form Portuguese side Braga.
The Ibrox club rallied in the second half of the first leg at Ibrox to come back from two goals down to win 3-2 thanks to an Ianis Hagi inspired performance.
The young Romanian playmaker scored the first goal for Rangers before scoring a deflected free-kick winner, after a stunning Joe Aribo solo effort had levelled the tie.
Hagi also provided a vital contribution to put Ryan Kent through on goal for the solitary strike in the 1-0 away in Portugal.
