The Rangers are in Group D, along with Benfica, Standard Liège and Lech Poznan.
Former Rangers manager Steven Gerrard said on Friday that he was delighted to face Benfica and Lech Poznan in the Europa League, an all-time debut for both teams.
“The Europa League seems stronger every season, with the best teams. It will be good to have the opportunity to face Benfica and Lech Poznan for the first time,” said the former Liverpool player.
Gerrard commented on this Friday’s draw for the Europa League, which put Rangers in group D, Benfica, Lech Poznan, and also the Belgian Standard Liège, an emblem that Rangers already faced in the 1960s.
“It is a strong group, but we will do our best against three good teams,” said the former midfielder.
Steven Gerrard also said it was the goal of the Scots to finish as high as possible, after their players showed in previous qualifiers that “they will fight any team.”
Rangers reached the group stage after eliminating Lincoln Red Imps (5-0) from Gibraltar, Willem II (4-0) from the Netherlands and, on Thursday, at home, the Turks. from Galatasaray (2-1).
England defender James Tavernier, Scotland’s Player of the Month, was equally enthusiastic about the group, especially in the search for the “eagles.”
“Big names and big stadiums, like Benfica. Everyone in the Europa League is going to pose different difficulties and we are all looking forward to it starting,” said the defender.
