The road to the eagerly-awaited 2022/23 Champions League has run its course, with the qualification phase having been completed ahead of the showpiece event, which kicks off on September 6. 

Dinamo Zagreb, FC Copenhagen and Rangers secured the final three spots on Wednesday night, meaning all 32 teams have now booked their ticket to the group stage. 

Croatian powerhouse Zagreb needed extra time to edge out Norway's Bodo/Glimt 4-2, while Danish champions Copenhagen emerged triumphant after a goalless draw at Türkiye's Trabzonspor earned a 2-1 aggregate win.

The most stunning upset of the night took place at the Philips Stadion, where Scottish side Rangers returned to European football's top table for the first time in 12 years after ousting Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven in a 3-2 aggregate victory. 

It marks a sensational turnaround as Rangers were liquidated and played in Scotland's third division just 10 years ago. It also means both Glasgow monoliths – Rangers and Celtics – will take their places in the group stage for the first time since 2007/08. 

"It's difficult to describe in words, it was a great team performance. It's an amazing journey we'll have this year and I'm so proud of all of these guys," beamed Antonio Colak, who scored the winner for Rangers on an unforgettable night. 

"I was in tears on the pitch, it was just a moment of joy. As a kid I always wanted to compete at this level and to be here is amazing."

Rangers can now look forward to facing some of the world biggest names in the group stage draw, which will take place on Thursday in Istanbul, Türkiye.   

Prior to the draw, all teams will be split into four seeding pots. Pot 1 contains the Champions League and Europa League title holders and the champions of Europe's top six leagues. Pots 2 to 4 are ordered on UEFA's coefficient, which measures results and performance in Europe over a five-year period. 

Defending champions Real Madrid will aim to clinch their 15th European crown, while both Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City will be desperate to win their first-ever Champions League trophy after busy summer transfer windows.
