Rangers tackle Eintracht Frankfurt in the final of the Europa League. An unlikely pair of finalists, both teams have surprised many with their progress all the way to Seville with Rangers dispatching of Borussia Dortmund, Red Star, Braga and RB Leipzig en route to their first European final since 2008.
Can Rangers bring home European silverware for the first time since 1972?
Certainly, this match should prove hugely intriguing with Eintracht perhaps now facing a little bit more of the pressure as favourites, having been underdogs in prior rounds, particularly in their wins against Barcelona and West Ham. Rangers, for their part, have also enjoyed their status as underdogs, as demonstrated in their rousing semi-final victory against RB Leipzig at Ibrox. Ultimately, we expect a really close and highly competitive occasion with the Sevilla heat potentially affecting both teams’ energy levels as the night stretches on with temperatures expected to reach the high 80s, even after sundown.
Rangers XI: McGregor; Goldson, Lundstram, Bassey; Tavernier, Jack, Kamara, Barisic; Wright, Aribo, Kent.
Frankfurt XI: Trapp; Touré, Tuta, N’Dicka; Knauff, Sow, Rode, Kostic; Lindström, Kamada; Borré.
