Rangers will discover their opponents in the third qualifying round of the Champions League this morning.

Philippe Clement's side will enter the competition two rounds from the new league phase.

The Ibrox club already know they will be in the seeded side of the League Path draw for the third qualifying round.

In theory, it should mean an easier draw with Rangers' impressive coefficient score making them the top-seeded side. Slavia Prague, Red Bull Salzburg and Lille are the other seeded clubs in the draw.

Rangers will play one of six sides in the third qualifying round with Union Saint-Gilloise, FC Twente, Lugano or Fenerbahce and Dynamo Kyiv or Partizan as possible opponents.

Union Saint-Gilloise and Twente are already qualified while the winners of Lugano and Fenerbahce and Dynamo Kyiv and Partizan will join the draw.

The third qualifying round draw will take place TODAY - Monday, July 22. The draw begins at 11am UK time.

Should Rangers progress beyond the third qualifying round they will then enter the play-off round of the Champions League with a shot at making the league phase.

If Rangers were to lose in the third qualifying round then they would drop into the Europa League play-off round. A loss in the play-off round would see Rangers fall into the Europa League league phase.
