RANGERS have been drawn against Sevilla in the knockout rounds play-off phase of the UEFA Youth League.
The Ibrox club's youth team will host the Spaniards on February 7/8 in a one-legged tie, with a place in the last 16 of the competition up for grabs.
Rangers defeated Swedish outfit Hammarby 5-1 on aggregate and Bulgaria's Septemvri Sofia 7-2 in the preliminary rounds in the champions' path to reach this stage.
Sevilla finished second in Group G in the Champions League group stages behind Red Bull Salzburg, picking up 11 points in six outings. Their sole defeat came in Austria.
Should David McCallum's team make it through, they will become the first Scottish team to reach the round of 16.
The eight group winners from the Champions League path have already booked their places in the next round meaning Rangers could face Benfica, Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, RB Salzburg or Sporting Lisbon - or one of the other winners from the play-off ties.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
