RANGERS return to European action tonight after coming agonisingly close to a famous Europa League success.
The Gers were beaten by Eintracht Frankfurt on penalties in Seville after a brilliant run to the final.
And that defeat means they must now negotiate qualifying to enjoy Champions League football this season, as Celtic won the Scottish Premiership.
First up, they face an unpredictable tie with Belgian runners-up Union Saint-Gilloise.
The Brussels-based side finished in second position in the Jupiler Pro League, just a year after returning to the top flight for the first time in 49 years.
Should the Gers win, they will face an extremely tough tie in the play-off round against either PSV Eindhoven or Monaco.

Change of scene
The match has been moved from Union Saint-Gilloise's regular home ground, which does not meet Uefa standards. Instead, the contest will be played in the Den Dreef Stadium in Leuven.
The hosts will hope that the change in location can mark a change in goalscoring form having netted just once in their last three matches at the Stade Joseph Marien.
Especially considering they have scored a combination of nine goals in their previous two visits here.
