Rangers will play Servette FC in the Champions League third qualifying round after the Swiss side's penalty shoot-out win over Genk.
Michael Beale's side start the 2023/24 Scottish Premiership season with a trip to face Kilmarnock at Rugby Park, live on Sky Sports.
The Ibrox side's first leg against Servette follows on August 9 with a home match against Livingston sandwiched in between the return tie on August 15.
Should Rangers progress to the play-off round, the first leg will take place on either August 22 or 23, with the second leg on August 29 or 30.
Speaking to Sky Sports News on the importance of qualifying for the Champions League, Beale said: "The opportunity to play in that competition is the optimal level for the players, it's where everyone wants to get at in football to play in the Champions League,"
"It's really important. We've done very well in Europe in the last few years, certainly in the Europa League from where we came from in 2018.
"Last season, to qualify for the Champions League, was a fantastic achievement. It didn't go the way anyone wanted, but this year is another opportunity.
"No one would like to come to Ibrox, I don't think, but we know it's going to be tough to qualify again."
