Rangers Set to Face Dinamo Kyiv or Partizan Belgrade.

Posted 1 months ago

Rangers will play against either Dinamo Kyiv or Partizan Belgrade in the third qualifying round of the Champions League.

The winner will advance to the play-off stage, where they will compete for a spot in the new 36-team league format.

The two legs are scheduled for August 6/7 and August 13, with Rangers playing away first. The play-off draw will occur on August 5.

If Rangers don't win this tie or the play-off round, they will move on to the Europa League group stage.

Dinamo Kyiv will host Partizan for the first leg of their second qualifying round tie on Tuesday, with the return leg taking place in Serbia a week later. Dinamo Kyiv's home game will be held in Lublin, Poland.

This marks the fourth consecutive season Rangers have begun in the third qualifying round of the Champions League. Last season, they defeated Servette but lost to PSV Eindhoven in the play-off, eventually reaching the Europa League's round of 16.

Both Dinamo and Partizan were runners-up in their respective leagues last season, just like Rangers.
