At the half-way point of this year's competition, Rangers have started the UEFA Europa League well. 

With two wins, one draw and one loss, Philippe Clement's side find themselves 10th out of 36 in the tournament's league-phase, with seven points. 

A dominant 2-0 win over Malmo FF away from home at the end of September was followed by a  4-1 loss to Olympique Lyonnais at Ibrox at the beginning of October.

After that, a 4-0 win over FCSB followed, before a well-earned 1-1 draw saw the visitors return from Olympiacos with a point.   

Now at the halfway point of the tournament, Philippe Clement and his players face a further four Europa League encounters, as part of the competition's new-look format. 

This means that the competition's traditional group stages are no longer in operation, with a new league phase taking their place. In practice, this means Rangers will play eight games against eight different teams – four of which will be held away from home, and four will be held at Ibrox.

Rangers Europa League results 

Malmo 0 - 2 Rangers

Date: Thursday, September 26, 2024
Kick-off time: 5.45pm
Stadium: Eleda Stadium

Rangers kicked off their UEFA Europa League campaign with an away win against Malmo in Sweden. The better team from start to finish, Philippe Clement's side could likely have put more past the hosts on the night - with Nedim Bajrami netting inside the first minute, and Ross McCausland hitting the mark in the final 15.

Rangers were largely outplayed against a class outfit in Lyon. Despite having the home advantage, and having managed to pull level inside the first 15 minutes, the Ligue 1 side showed their quality all over the pitch, especially in the last half hour of the match.

Rangers 4-0 FCSB (formerly Steaua București)

Date: Thursday, October 24, 2024
Kick-off time: 8pm
Stadium: Ibrox

Rangers attacked the game from the outset against FCSB, and played on the front foot from the first whistle to the last. In front of an energised crowd, there were flashes of the club's outstanding European run of 2021/22 in moments, with Vaclav Cerny's top-class brace among the highlights of the night.

Olympiacos 1 - 1 Rangers

Date: Thursday, November 7
Kick-off time: 5.45pm
Stadium: Karaiskakis Stadium 

After going behind to an Ayoub El Kaabi strike on 56 minutes, Rangers rallied quickly to pull level by way of Cyriel Dessers just eight minutes later. From thereon, both sides had chances to snatch all three points, with Philippe Clement's tactically disciplined visitors more than worthy of a draw over the course of the match in its entirety.

Rangers Europa League standings

This year's UEFA Europa League matches kicked off on the evening of Wednesday, September 25, 2024.

Here's how the league-phase table looks after four rounds of fixtures:


Europa League new format – how does it work and what is the league phase?

This year's UEFA Europa League has a new format, marking the most significant change to the competition's structure since the UEFA Cup was changed to the Europa League in 2008.

To this end, the familiar group stages are now more with a 36-team league phase instead taking its place. Here, each team plays eight different matches against eight different opponents – four at home, and four away from home.

The top eight sides in the league after eight games will qualify automatically for the round of 16, whereas the teams who finish in 9th to 24th place will compete in a two-legged knock-out play-off to secure their place in the tournament's post-league phase knock-out round.

Teams that finish 25th or lower will be eliminated, with no access to the UEFA Europa Conference League as we've seen in previous years.

Here's a deeper dive into the new rules and tournament format.
