Rangers drawn against Macedonian side for Europa league qualifier

The tie will take place at Ibrox on 12th July, and will see the ex-England captain's side take on the team who finished 4th in the Macedonian league last season.

Rangers lost embarrassingly to Luxembourg-based Progres Niederkorn at the same stage last year, and Gerrard will be looking to avoid a similar result in his first match in senior management.

The Glasgow side will be playing in the first of four qualifying rounds as they look to make it to the group stages of the competition.

Fellow Scottish side Hibernian, who are under the management of the ex-Celtic boss Neil Lennon, will face NSI Runavik of the Faroe Islands in their first round of qualification.

Both teams will be hoping to join Aberdeen in the second round of qualification for the competition, which they earned through finishing second in the league last season.
