This will be the third European meeting between Fenerbahce and Rangers, having met in qualifying for the 2001-02 Champions League, with the Turkish side progressing after a 2-1 home win (0-0 at Ibrox).
Fenerbahce remain unbeaten against Scottish opposition in Europe (including qualifiers – P4 W1 D3), facing Rangers in Champions League qualifying in 2001-02 (W1 D1) and Celtic in the Europa League group stages in 2015-16 (D2).
Rangers have progressed from just two of their previous 11 last-16 ties in major European competition, eliminating Werder Bremen from the Uefa Cup in 2007-08 and Red Star Belgrade from the Europa League on their way to reaching the final in 2021-22.
Fenerbahce possess the highest shot conversion rate of any remaining side in the Europa League this season (16.5%), netting 14 of their 85 attempts on goal. They also have the joint highest, along with AZ and Ajax, xG per shot value in the competition this season of 0.15 (12.37xG).
Fifteen of Rangers’ 16 Europa League goals this season have come from open play, the joint highest total in the competition this term. Meanwhile, only AZ (16.4), Galatasaray (15.3), Real Sociedad (13.7) and Ajax (13.3) have created more xG from open play than Rangers (13.1).
