It was last night confirmed that Rangers would be playing Europa League football this season.
Michael Beale's side fell at the final hurdle in Champions League qualifying in Eindhoven. PSV put the Ibrox side to the sword on their own patch, comfortably winning the overall play-off tie 7-3.
Wednesday night's defeat meant Rangers dropped into UEFA's secondary competition, while the Eredivisie outfit progressed to the Champions League group stage.
It's the Europa League groups that await Rangers now, with the draw scheduled to take place tomorrow Friday, September 1.
However, they will need to wait until tonight to discover what Pot they will be in for that draw.
That's because Ajax and Dinamo Zagreb's respective results still have a long way to go in determining the outlook of the four Pots.
If both teams win tonight, then Rangers will go into Pot 2. However, if either of these sides lose this evening, then Rangers will be in Pot 1, as per UEFA's club coefficient ranking.
Ajax lead Ludogorets 4-1 heading into their play-off second leg this evening. That game will be played in Amsterdam.
Dinamo Zagreb are also in a promising position to progress from their tie versus Sparta Prague. In the Czech Republic for the return game, the Croatians lead 3-1 at half time.
Once Rangers know which Pot they will be drawn from, the club will have a greater idea of which teams they could come up against between September and December.
Just two seasons ago Rangers reached the final of the Europa League under the guidance of Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
The Ibrox side cruelly lost to Eintracht Frankfurt on penalties in Seville in May 2022.
