Rangers’ hopes of progression in the Europa League will be decided in Seville on Wednesday night as they face Real Betis in their Group C finale.

Phillipe Clement’s side travel to Spain in the knowledge that a victory would see them leapfrog their La Liga opponents to finish top of the section and qualify for the last 16 of the competition as one of the eight group winners.

Failure to win, however, would open the door for Sparta Prague to overtake them into second place should the Czech side defeat Aris Limissol in Cyprus, which would leave Rangers out of the Europe League but with the fallback of a place in the Europa Conference League knock-out round play-offs, where they would face one of the eight group runners-up from UEFA’s third tier tournament for a place in the last 16.

Should Sparta fail to win, then the Ibrox side would qualify in second place regardless of their result and enter the Europa League knockout round play-offs where they would face one of the eight clubs who finished third in their Champions League group for a place in the last 16.

Rangers were victorious in the reverse fixture against Betis in Glasgow back in September under previous manager Michael Beale with a second-half goal from winger Abdallah Sima securing a 1-0 victory over the Spaniards.
