In pictures, here’s a look back at Rangers’ 2010/11 Champions League campaign, which saw them finish third in their group and drop into the Europa League.

Rangers knocked out Portuguese giants Sporting on away goals following a 3-3 aggregate draw in the last 32 of the Europa League.

But despite returning from the Netherlands in the next round with a 0-0 draw at PSV, the Ibrox side went down 1-0 at home.
