Peter Olayinka’s Slavia Prague have been handed a fierce fixture against Scottish side Rangers football club who are the employers of Super Eagles playmaker Joe Aribo.
Rangers numbers in the Scottish League and Europa League this season are outrageous

The Steven Gerrard led sqaud will certainly not be a pushover for Slavia Praha who were knocked out of the Uefa Champions league down to the Europa.
Another Nigerian Samuel Chukwueze who plays for Villarreal club of Spain were squared up against Ukraine’s Dynamo Kyiv. Villarreal knocked out Salzburg of Austria 4-1 on aggregate to get to this stage. Dynamo Kyiv went past Club Brugge 2-1 on aggregate. Chukwueze who is an integral member of Unai Emery team is on course to be the latest Nigerian to win an European trophy since John Obi Mikel and Victor Moses did for Chelsea in 2013.
