Rangers have now played three games in this season's newly-formatted UEFA Europa League league-phase and now sit in 11th place with six points.
Following last night's (Thursday) emphatic 4-0 win over FCSB in Glasgow, the Ibrox side added to their well-earned 2-0 opening day win over Malmo in Sweden, and firmly bounced back from a disappointing 4-1 defeat to Lyon earlier this month.
The competition's new format means that those teams who finish inside the top eight will automatically qualify for its knockout round, whereas those placed ninth to 24th will compete in a play-off round to progress.
The remaining teams (between 24 and 36) will be eliminated, with no access to the UEFA Conference League as per previous seasons.

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!
