What is the Europa League?
The Europa League is one of Europe's top club football competitions, organised by UEFA. Teams qualify based on their performance in domestic leagues and cup competitions. It's a step below the Champions League but still offers significant prestige and prize money. Rangers' exit means they miss out on the financial and sporting benefits of continuing in this competition.
