The Europa League returned on Thursday night, with 24 games over and done with and plenty of conclusions to be drawn.

It was a fine night for Manchester United and Arsenal, with both getting off the mark with three points, but Wolves suffered an early blow, a late sucker-punch from Braga condeming Nuno Espirito Santo’s side to defeat.

Celtic endured a frustrating night against Rennes, while Rangers celebrated the life of former captain Fernando Ricksen with victory over Feyenoord.

Further afield there was a surprise win for CFR Cluj against Lazio, while Wolfsberger and Slovan Bratislava showed their quality with impressive victories.

But how has all of Thursday’s action impacted our Europa League power rankings? FInd out below...
