Rangers have been handed a nightmare Women's Champions League draw against Arsenal.
Jo Potter's side were drawn to face the Women's Super League side in round one of the European competition.
The draw presents a significant challenge to Rangers - who were unseeded - as they go up against Arsenal, who won the competition in 2006/07 and have only failed to make the quarter-finals once in the last 16 entries.
In this afternoon's draw, Rangers also discovered the other two clubs in their mini-tournament cracked with Atletico Madrid and Rosenborg going head to head in the other semi-final.
To progress into the next round, Rangers would have to win their group, which would mean beating Arsenal before triumphing over the winners of the other match.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
