Rangers hope to win the first European Cup in 50 years: “You want to write history” | European League 2021/2022

Both Frankfurt and Rangers have ardent fans. “They are unbelievable,” said coach Oliver Glasner. “All the trips they take, the way they push us forward, you can’t define them. It helps to win.”

According to Frankfurt, 50,000 German fans will travel to Seville and additional flights have been scheduled, while each team can only get 10,000 tickets. The match will also be shown at the Frankfurt Stadium, where 50,000 tickets have already been sold.

Glasner: “Everyone is talking about the final, in the supermarket too. It will be a giant match. We are focused but calm. We will play with enthusiasm.”

The Rangers will once again have Jamaican Kemar Rove at their disposal on Wednesday. The former Anderlecht striker was already important to the Scots this season, but missed the semi-final against RB Leipzig. “It’s available,” says Van Bronckhorst. “He already trained on Monday and he’ll do the same on Tuesday. He’ll be in check on Wednesday. If you need him, he’s ready.”

Aaron Ramsey will also return on Wednesday. The veteran Welshman, on loan from Juventus this season, is playing his first European final. “He hasn’t played much lately,” said Van Bronckhorst. “He is an important player for us. You need experienced men, especially in matches like this. We are all looking forward to this match. The atmosphere in the group is good. We want to win this cup.”

Giovanni van Bronckhorst is hoping to give Rangers fans a European trophy again after years. “We want to make our fans proud,” the Dutch coach told the Scottish big club in the run-up to Wednesday’s Europa League final against Eintracht Frankfurt in Seville. 100,000 Scots are expected to travel to Seville.

Captain James Tavernier, top scorer in the European League with seven goals, agreed with him: “We want to make history and bring the cup back home.” “I see it happening too. The confidence in the group is great. With the support of our great fans we can make it happen. Frankfurt may not be an easy opponent, but it is a possible card.”

Van Bronckhorst spoke respectfully of the German opponent in the press conference. “It’s a well-organised team with fast and dangerous players. Frankfurt played really well against Barcelona and West Ham United. They deserve to be in the final.”

Rangers FC has so far won one European trophy, and that was in 1972 when the club won its second European Cup at the time. Eintracht Frankfurt was also successful once in Europe, winning the UEFA Cup in 1980. In addition to the Europa League itself, the main draw ticket for next season’s Champions League is also in jeopardy for Rangers and Frankfurt on Wednesday.
