Rangers' European Ambitions

Rangers are set to face Viktoria Plzen of the Czech Republic or Servette of Switzerland in the Champions League third qualifying round, provided they overcome Panathinaikos in their upcoming match. The draws for the third qualifying round of all three UEFA competitions are scheduled for Monday, with Rangers, Hibs, and Dundee United all set to play the first legs of their second qualifying round ties this week.

Potential Opponents in Europa League

Should Rangers lose to Panathinaikos, they will still have a chance to compete in the Europa League. The Glasgow side will be unseeded in the Europa League draw and could face formidable opponents such as Beşiktas (Turkey) against Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine), Anderlecht (Belgium) against Häcken (Sweden), or Sheriff Tiraspol (Moldova) against Utrecht (Netherlands).

Hibs' European Prospects

Hibs, who are seeded, have four potential Europa League opponents if they defeat Midtjylland. These include Wolfsberger (Austria), Fredrikstad (Norway), or the winners of Lugano (Switzerland) against Cluj (Romania) or Celje (Slovenia) against Larnaca (Cyprus). If Hibs lose to the Danes, they will face seven possible Europa League qualifying losers in the Conference League qualifying draw.

Dundee United's European Path

Assuming Dundee United defeat Luxembourg minnows UNA Strassen, they have five potential opponents in the Conference League's third qualifying round. These include Dečić (Montenegro) or Rapid Vienna (Austria), Cherno More (Bulgaria) or İstanbul Başakşehir (Turkey), Sheriff Tiraspol (Moldova) or Utrecht (Netherlands), Radnički 1923 (Serbia) or KÍ Klaksvík (Faroe Islands), and Pyunik (Armenia) or Győr (Hungary).

Conclusion

Rangers, Hibs, and Dundee United are all poised for exciting European campaigns. The upcoming draws will determine their paths in the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League, offering fans thrilling matches and potential glory.
