Rangers host Slavia Prague at Ibrox after drawing 1-1 in the first leg in the Czech Republic, while United face AC Milan at the San Siro after a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford last week.

Arsenal take on Olympiacos at the Emirates having won the first leg 3-1, while Spurs face Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia and carry a 2-0 lead into the game.

All four clubs have a good chance of progressing but Rangers have received the most support of the quartet in a poll conducted by the UEFA Europa League Twitter account on Thursday.

Rangers received 35.2% of 11,422 votes, with United coming second with 26.4%, Arsenal third with 20.5% and Tottenham last with 17.9%.

Supporters will be hoping it’s a sign of things to come, as a victory over Slavia would take the Gers deeper into a European competition than they have been since the 2008 UEFA Cup final.

Rangers will be without both skipper James Tavernier and influential midfielder Ryan Jack through injury, but otherwise, Steven Gerrard has close to a full squad to choose from.
