Rangers to face FK Partizan or Dynamo Kyiv in Champions League qualifying
Last updated 22nd Jul 2024
Rangers have been drawn against the winner of FK Partizan against Dynamo Kyiv in the third round of Champions League qualifying.
The Serbian and Ukrainian teams face off in the first leg tomorrow, with the return tie a week later.
FK Partizan finished second in the Serbian Superleague last season behind Red Star.
Dynamo Kyiv were also runners up in their domestic league to Shakhtar Donetsk.
Philippe Clement's side will be away from home in the first leg on either July 6 or 7.
They will then host the following week for their first European game at Hampden Park with Ibrox currently out of commission due to delayed construction works.
The Champions League has a new format this season with it increasing from 32 teams to 36.
Teams are guaranteed to play eight games instead of six in the group stage which is now a league format.
Clubs that finish in the top eight of the league progress straight to the last 16.
Those who land between 9th and 24th will face off in a playoff round.
