Rangers face a wait to find out their UEFA Europa League Round of 16 opponents.
Philippe Clement guided his side to eighth spot in the league phase rankings which meant they avoided the playoffs to join Premier League duo Manchester United and Tottenham in the knockouts directly.
The draw for the next phase is set for February 21, with the bracket then opened out until the final in Bilbao, with FC Twente, Bodo/Glimt, Fenerbahce and Anderlecht amongst the incoming options for Rangers.
However, before the next phase, Clement will need to make a decision on his squad, ahead of a UEFA deadline on February 6.
Clement is allowed to add three players to his squad for the knockout stages, as per UEFA rules, with the squad alterations needing to be submitted to UEFA by midnight on Thursday, February 6 (CET).
Can January transfers play in the Europa League knockouts?
Clubs are allowed to pick players they have signed in the January transfer window during the second half of the season in Europe.
Additionally, current players can be added to the list, if they were omitted from the original roster at the start of the campaign.
However, teams can only add a maximum of three new players to their List A squads, and squad lists cannot exceed 25 players. If a list currently includes 25 names, players needed to removed or leave the club in January, in order for new players to be added in.
Which Rangers players will be added to Europa League squad?
Clement only added one new player to his squad in January with Portuguese defender Rafael Fernandes joining on loan for the rest of the season from Lille.
As per reports from Glasgow World, he will be added to the list, with Kieran Dowell removed – following his loan to Birmingham City – alongside expected withdrawals of Oscar Cortes and Neraysho Kasanwirjo due to long-term injuries.
That leaves two further spaces, and Rangers fans will be delighted to see Ianis Hagi and Danilo come in – after being left out for the league phase.
Romania international Hagi was controversially omitted by former boss John Bennett, due to a contractual issue, with Danilo carrying an injury from preseason.
Clinton Nsiala is expected to be left out again as Clement plans for the next stage of European competition.
