Europa League draw LIVE: Man Utd, Tottenham, Rangers learn fixtures plus Chelsea in Conference League
Rangers will play both Manchester United and Tottenham, as Jose Mourinho faces one of his former teams with new club Fenerbahce
The draws for the Europa League and Conference League took place this afternoon ahead of the start of a new era for European football.
Following on from the new-look Champions League draw yesterday, both the Europa League and Conference League will embrace new formats ahead of this season. The new competitions will look similar to the Champions League, as a 36-team league format replaces the previous group stage. As a result, the draw will look different too: teams will be handed fixtures, rather than being selected into groups.
Rangers will play both Manchester United and Tottenham in the Europa League group stage, adding to fixtures against Lyon, Olympiacos, and Nice. United face a trip to Fenerbahce, where they will play former manager Jose Mourinho, as well as Porto. Spurs, meanwhile, host Roma and face a trip to Galatasaray among their fixtures.
In the Uefa Conference League, Chelsea are the only Premier League team in the hat and the Blues will play Gent from Belgium, Heidenheim from Germany, Astana from Kazakhstan, Shamrock Rovers from Ireland, Panathinaikos from Greece, and Noah from Armenia.
They are joined by Hearts from Scotland, The New Saints from Wales and Larne from Northern Ireland, who found out their fixtures during the draw.
