UEFA Europa League round of 16 participants in each of the last two seasons, Scottish champions Rangers open their 2021/22 group campaign at home to Olympique Lyonnais, who are back in the European fold having missed out last term for the first time in 24 years. Previous meetings • The clubs have been drawn together once previously, each winning 3-0 away in the 2007/08 UEFA Champions League group stage. Lyon qualified for the round of 16 for the fifth successive season with their Matchday 6 victory at Ibrox, finishing second in Group E behind Barcelona, while third-placed Rangers moved into the UEFA Cup, where they went on to reach the final – their first in Europe for 36 years. • Rangers won their first four home games against French opposition, the last of them in 1971, but have managed no victories in the eight since then (D3 L5). That encounter against Lyon, which featured 's first UEFA Champions League double, is the most recent. • Lyon have won four of their six UEFA matches against Scottish clubs, including two of the three in Glasgow, with one win and one defeat against Celtic in addition to that 2007 victory at Ibrox. Form guide Rangers • Undefeated champions of Scotland in 2020/21 as they claimed a record-extending 55th domestic league title, Rangers also played 13 matches in the UEFA Europa League as they progressed from the second qualifying round to the round of 16, where they were eliminated by Slavia Praha (1-1 a, 0-2 h). • Rangers returned to the UEFA Champions League for the first time in a decade this term, but their adventure lasted just two matches as they lost both third qualifying round legs 2-1 to Malmö and therefore transferred into the UEFA Europa League play-offs, where they edged Armenian champions Alashkert (1-0 h, 0-0 a) to reach the UEFA Europa League group stage for the fourth successive season. They have improved in each of the previous three campaigns, all under manager Steven Gerrard, finishing third in 2018/19, second in 2019/20 and first, ahead of Benfica, Standard Liège and Lech Poznań, in 2020/21. • The Glasgow giants have lost just four of their last 27 European home matches (W17 D6), although two of those defeats have come in the last three – against Slavia and Malmö. They remain unbeaten at Ibrox, however, in the UEFA Europa League group stage (W5 D4). Lyon • Lyon finished the 2020/21 campaign in fourth place, seven points behind champions LOSC Lille, to return to European competition after a rare season's absence as direct qualifiers for the UEFA Europa League group stage. In their most recent continental campaign they reached the semi-finals of the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League. • Les Gones have won more matches in the UEFA Europa League than any other French club (21), scoring more goals (70), and were semi-finalists in 2016/17 having also reached the last eight in 2013/14. This is their fourth appearance in the group stage, from which they have progressed to the round of 32 on each occasion, twice as group winners, in 2012/13 and 2013/14. On their last appearance, in 2017/18, they were runners-up in Group E to Atalanta with 11 points, eventually going out on away goals in the round of 16 to CSKA Moskva (1-0 a, 2-3 h). • Lyon have lost only one of their nine away matches in the UEFA Europa League group stage (W4 D4) – the most recent, 0-1 against Atalanta on Matchday 6 in 2017/18. They have lost four of their last five European away fixtures, all in the UEFA Champions League, the exception a 2-0 win at RB Leipzig two years ago. Links and trivia • Moussa Dembélé is a familiar figure to Rangers, having scored seven goals against them during his two seasons at Celtic (2016–18), including the first Old Firm league hat-trick for the Bhoys in 50 years and the late winner in a League Cup semi-final. He was never on the losing side in nine outings against Rangers (W7 D2). • Lyon defender is also a former Celtic player, spending the 2014/15 season on loan with the Parkhead club. • Rangers manager Gerrard has unhappy memories of facing Lyon as a player with Liverpool. He was forced off injured in the first half of a 1-2 home defeat by the French side in the 2009/10 UEFA Champions League group stage, from which Lyon ultimately progressed at the Merseyside club's expense, with a 1-1 draw in the return – a game Gerrard missed. • Lyon's new coach was in charge of the Bayer Leverkusen side that knocked Gerrard's Rangers out of the 2019/20 UEFA Europa League, winning both round of 16 matches, the first of them 3-1 at Ibrox. • Rangers need three more goals to reach 50 in the UEFA Europa League, group stage to final.
