Those who drink from the Premier League Kool-Aid dismiss the second European competitions but this is where Europe is really united.

At a time of war in Europe, the Conference League and Europa League have been an illustration of the commonality of all our peoples. They are liars and they lie all the time, they’re lying now and now and now. We all need a bit of romance to counterbalance the greed and commodification culture that dominates the higher echelons. It’s a mistake to think that if you don’t get to the final or win it then it’s all been worthless. Anything that offers great breadth and opportunity for the other 95% of clubs that exist in Europe is much to be welcomed. Yet, not only is the entire Scottish pyramid tremendous entertainment, here we have a team in the final that beat the more fashionable Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig to get there, as ‘pub league’ teams always do, eh.

Will Rangers win the Europa League Final? Our writers make their ... (Scottish Daily Record)

Is it destiny for Gio van Bronckhorst and Co and they eye glory against the Germans in Seville.

Frankfurt have quality, no more so than frontman Rafaele Borre, and will pose serious questions but Rangers have goals coming from all over the park and with confidence soaring can finish the job in Seville. Nothing has fazed Rangers in their stunning surge to the final and unlike 2008 it’s been goals and thrills galore. But this Rangers side has beaten better teams on this run and have enough to make history. The heat is going to be a factor and I don’t expect a classic. Rangers have a smart manager and a talented team. It’s almost as if Eintracht Frankfurt are only in Seville to make up the numbers.

Rangers in Seville: Latest updates and news ahead of Europa ... (The Scotsman)

Rangers fans have descended on Seville ahead of the Europa League final against Eintracht Frankfurt at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan.

Included within that quartet is that epic night against RB Leipzig in the second leg of the semi-finals” Oliver Glasner has been in charge of Frankfurt for a year. They have just finished 11th in the 18-team Bundesliga and did not win any of their closing eight league matches, a run stretching back to mid-March. They drew their final game 2-2 away to Mainz on Sunday. They have been a different animal in Europe, however, with Real Betis, Barcelona and West Ham their three most recent conquests in reaching the final. A Ferran Torres goal cancelled out Ansgar Knuaff’s opener for Frankfurt and the German side had to see out a 1-1 home-leg draw with 10 men. Japanese midfielder Daichi Kamada is also a threat, having netted nine times, including in the away victory over West Ham. Serbian midfielder Filip Kostic, who joined from Hamburg four years ago, is also deemed a key man for Frankfurt. A 90th-minute goal in Germany took the tie into extra time but Frankfurt were saved from penalties by a last-minute own goal.

Prior to reaching the final this term, their best run since winning silverware in 1980 was in 2019 when they reached the semi-final of the Europa League before losing to Chelsea. Their only appearance in the European Cup final brought a 7-3 defeat against Real Madrid at Hampden in 1960. They have just finished 11th in the 18-team Bundesliga and did not win any of their closing eight league matches, a run stretching back to mid-March.

They have been a different animal in Europe, however, with Real Betis, Barcelona and West Ham their three most recent conquests in reaching the final. Rangers have received a major boost with news that Kemar Roofe has been passed fit for the final. We have to put in a good performance and make them proud.” Victory in Seville would also propel them into next season’s Champions League for the first time since the 2010-11 season.

Socceroos star seals 15-year Aussie first in incredible Euro glory after penalty gamble backfires.

Only ten years ago this week, Rangers fell into administration before being liquidated and relegated to Scotland’s bottom tier. Hrustic, meanwhile, also came on as a substitute, but made no mistake when stepping up to take Frankfurt’s second penalty. Both clubs were looking to win a second European title in their history, Rangers after clinching the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1972 and Frankfurt after they lifted the UEFA Cup 42 years ago.

I broke into tears after the final whistle and after we put it into the net.” A great compliment to the players.” I have no words to express what I feel for the players. My family believed in me and it all paid off at the end,” he said. The midfielder also had a chance to win it during extra time but pulled his shot wide from the edge of the penalty box. I think I did it quite well.”

Eintracht Frankfurt's 42-year wait for a European title has ended after a 5-4 penalty shootout win over Rangers in the Europa League final.

Frankfurt equalised 12 minutes later with Borré sliding in between two defenders to convert a cross by Kostic from the left flank. Five German fans were detained the night before after a confrontation with police. The Scottish club also lost to Zenit St Petersburg in the 2008 UEFA Cup.

Eintracht Frankfurt and Rangers went the distance at a sweltering Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in pursuit of Europa League glory.

The 31-year-old had to bide his time during the shoot-out, as he and Rangers veteran Allan McGregor were faced with strikes of a stunning calibre from 12 yards. Eintracht goalkeeper Trapp was his team’s hero in the penalty shoot-out and was solely responsible for the game getting that far. He was the perfect man to have the final word. However, a closer inspection of the scoresheets showed there was really no need to worry. At the same, the former Sheffield United midfielder would have been able to have few complaints as it was demonstrably dangerous play, and Vincic's refusal to even dish out a yellow card was bizarre. The Rangers captain booted his first cross of the evening out for a throw-in on the full, while Kostic cut in-field hesitantly in the 11th minute to be easily dispossessed by Scott Wright.
