FORMER Celtic striker Chris Sutton tuned in for this afternoon's knockout play-off draw for the Europa League - and couldn't help but poke fun at Rangers after they were paired alongside Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side were seeded for the draw after finishing second in Group A behind Lyon, and were guaranteed to face a club dropping down from the Champions League.
Dortmund, however, were arguably the biggest hitter in the draw and progression to the last 16 will require a monumental effort from the Premiership champions.
Reacting to the pairing, Sutton predicted that the men from Ibrox will be in for a tough time against the German giants.
And after the initial draw for the last 16 of the Champions League had to be re-done following a mix-up, the BT Sport pundit joked that Rangers will be hoping the same thing happened to the Europa League ties.
Posting on Twitter, Sutton wrote: "Rangers may want the Europa draw redone as well.
