The road for Rangers offers intriguing possibilities as well, opening the door to potential encounters with the likes of Athletic Bilbao or even Roma in the rounds beyond.
As these matches loom closer, anticipation builds not just for the games themselves but for the multitude of stories ready to be written. Could Mourinho thwart Rangers twice?
