The four British clubs in Europa League group stages have discovered their fate with Rangers given a tricky task to try and get out of Group A. Steven Gerrard’s side have been drawn alongside French side Lyon, Sparta Prague and Brondby.
Leicester, who were also in pot two, were pulled in Group C alongside Italian giants Napoli, Russian outfit Spartak Moscow and Polish minnow Legia Warsaw.
West Ham will become the 17th Premier League side to enter the competition after their remarkable 2020/21 campaign.
David Moyes’ side were in pot three but avoided the biggest team, drawing Dinamo Zagreb, Genk and Rapid Vienna.
