Rangers could be on a Champions League collision course with Jose Mourinho. That means they must negotiate the qualifying rounds of the Champions League if they want to join Celtic in the newly-formatted league phase of the competition. The good news for the Light Blues is that they are at least seeded when they enter in qualifying round two. They kick off in the first qualifying round, where they are seeded along with Dynamo Kyiv, and will play either Partizan Belgrade or Swiss outfit Lugano. Crucially, the Turks won't be seeded, which means Mourinho could be trackside at Ibrox if the clubs are paired together.
