Rangers will take on either Olympiacos or Ludogorets in the Champions League qualifying play-off round if they get past Malmo.

The Ibrox side are in action on Tuesday night against the Swedish outfit in the first leg of their third qualifying round tie.

The sides meet again next week with the clubs now knowing what lies ahead.

Olympiacos won the Greek top division last season and made it to the group stages of the Champions League last season.

They finished third in their group and moved into the Europa League after picking up three points from their six matches.

Pedro Martins' side were eventually knocked out in the last 16 of that competition by Arsenal.

Bulgarian side Ludogorets also won their domestic league last season.

They made it to the group stages of the Europa League where they lost all six of their matches against Tottenham, Royal Antwerp and LASK Linz.

Rangers or Malmo will be at home first in the play-offs on August 17 or 18.
