Scottish football club, Rangers will face both England teams of Manchester United and Tottenham in the new-look league phase of the Europa League.
The Scottish Premiership side will play Tottenham Hotspurs at Ibrox, with the Red Devils welcoming Rangers to Old Trafford in Manchester for their first meeting in 14 years.
Each team plays eight fixtures in the ‘league phase’, with this year’s men’s tournament following the Champions League in having a radical change, including the end of a group stage.
Manchester United will travel to Fenerbahce in Turkey to reunite with former boss Jose Mourinho, while they also play Mourinho’s old side Porto away in Portugal.
Rangers’ other fixtures include a difficult trip to last season’s Conference League champions Olympiakos and French side Nice.

The expanded 36-team Europa League sees each team play eight games – four at home (H) and four away (A) in the league system, against two opponents from each of the four seeding pots.
Teams who finish in the top eight will qualify automatically for the last 16, while those who place ninth to 24th will compete in a two-legged knockout play-off for the chance to join them.
Whoever finishes 25th or lower will be eliminated and will not be entered into the Conference League.
The number of matches in the new format will increase from 125 to 189 while each team will play a minimum of eight games instead of six, and a maximum of 17.
Europa League action begins on 25-26 September, and with the increased number of fixtures, the league phase runs until 30 January rather than finishing before Christmas.
