Rangers progressed to the Europa League final in Seville in May 2022 where they lost an exciting match against Eintracht Frankfurt on penalties.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen have played the Scottish record champions four times to date. Rangers came out on top in the second round of the UEFA Cup in the 1998/99 season with a 2-1 away win and a 1-1 draw. The Werkself gained revenge in 2019/20 in the Europa League Round of 16: Bayer 04 went through to the next round thanks to two wins (3-1 and 1-0).

Information on ticket sales to follow on the Bayer 04 club channels.
