And that means they have to play an extra round against Dortmund, who came third in their Champions League group behind Ajax and Sporting.

In a humbling experience for the Gers boss, Van Bronckhorst’s team will face Giovanni Reyna – a player who is named after him!

Reyna is the son of Claudio, a former USA midfielder who spent two years at Ibrox, becoming the closest of pals with Van Bronckhorst during their time together.

In the aftermath of the draw, Van Bronckhorst said: “Gio [Reyna] sent a text straight to my eldest son.

“They’re almost the same age. It’s good to be drawn against him.

“It’s a special moment for both of us, knowing each other.

“I’ve known Gio his whole life and he is named after me, so they won’t come better than this.

“We visited him 18 months ago to watch one of his Dortmund games.

“And I’ve already been in contact with his dad Claudio. We’re good friends and hopefully he can come to the games.

“All in all, it’s a very special moment for both of us.

“But being the professionals we are, we want to be the best for our clubs. That’s normal.”
