Eintracht Frankfurt vs Rangers LIVE: Europa League final team news and line-ups as fans gather in Seville



Rangers‘ incredible run to the Europa League final

Follow live build-up and updates from the Europa League final in Seville as Rangers face Eintracht Frankfurt at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium. Supporters from both teams have flocked to the south of Spain and over 150,000 fans have arrived in the city ahead of tonight’s match, in what is perhaps the most unexpected European final in a decade.

It is simply an unmissable occasion, and both Rangers and Eintracht have the chance to create history after making dream runs to the final. Rangers are aiming to win their first European trophy in 50 years and will believe they have nothing to fear after knocking out German opposition in Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig to reach this stage. Giovanni van Bronckhorst only took over at the Ibrox in November but has built on the foundations set by Steven Gerrard to take the Glasgow club to unexpected heights.

Eintracht Frankfurt may have finished in the bottom half of the Bundesliga table this season but they too have punched above their weight by knocking out Barcelona and West Ham to reach their first European final in 42 years, and cannot be taken lightly. The weather conditions could play a factor in the final, which is expected to take place in baking temperatures after a day of searing heat in Seville. Can Rangers handle it? Follow live updates from the Europa League final, below:

Rangers players will become heroes if they lift the Europa League trophy in Seville, Ibrox legend Mark Hateley said as he hailed the club’s achievement in making it to the final.

Hateley told BBC Radio Scotland’s Good Morning Scotland programme: “In the modern game of football where cash is king and there’s not a lot of that around in Scottish football, to be able to emulate the top echelons of European football clubs, it’s remarkable, it is up there.

“Rangers have been one of the best teams in this competition, from a really slow start it must be said, but they’ve got better, grown into it.

“I think Gio (manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst) coming in has helped the football club and the team well.

“He’s taken that forward and that belief forward and turned us into finalists, and he’s done it in some style.”

Chelsea and Scotland midfielder Erin Cuthbert is in Seville for the Europa League final tonight.

She has made the trip over just three days after winning the FA Cup with Chelsea as they secure a league and cup double thanks to a 3-2 victory over Manchester City.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Rangers

Rangers have released a rousing video spurring their side on during the last 30 minutes or so.

The Scottish side have only won one European trophy in their history, coming in the form of the 1972 Cup Winners’ Cup when they beat Dynamo Moscow to win the title.

Half a century on from that triumph and they are in another European final – this time against German side Eintracht Frankfurt.

It really is a titanic night for all involved with the Glaswegian club.
