History could be created by defeating Eintracht Frankfurt in Seville to lift the Europa League trophy, becoming the first Scottish club to win two European tournaments.
The club last won the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1972, also in Spain, when they defeated Dinamo Moscow in Barcelona, while their last final was closer to home, losing 2-0 to Zenit Saint Petersburg in Manchester in 2007.
An estimated 100,000 Rangers fans will descend on the city to be part of the occasion this evening with a portion of those lucky enough to have a ticket for the 8pm kick-off which could be a doozy of an encounter played in front of a raucous atmosphere.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst has already led his side to success over Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig, who both finished in the top four of the Bundesliga. Frankfurt, meanwhile, finished 11th but have defeated West Ham United, Real Betis and Barcelona on their way to the final.
The Dutch manager will have plenty to think about with regards to his team selection, not only personnel with Kemar Roofe available having missed the last seven matches but also the system in which he lines them up.
Eintracht play a back three which could mean Rangers will look to match them up. Under Van Bronckhorst a switch from a back four to a back three has not been uncommon.
Here is the 11 The Scotsman predicts will start in Seville:
1. GK: Allan McGregor
Has produced some pivotal moments on the run to the final. Missed the last European final against Zenit due to injury and this could be his last match in a Rangers shirt with his contract up in the summer and Jon McLaughlin likely to play the Scottish Cup final. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group
2. CB: John Lundstram
Rangers fans have dubbed him the “best on earth”. Has really come to the fore in recent months, especially in Europe. His versatility will allow the team to be flexible, able to go from defence to midfield seamlessly. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
3. CB: Connor Goldson
Another who may well be set to exit in the summer. The defender has been Rangers’ Mr Reliable. Always available and one of the first names on the team-sheet. Will be expected to marshal the defence. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
4. CB: Calvin Bassey
Van Bronckhorst may well think about Balogun in this position and Bassey as a wing-back. But Bassey gives the backline excellent recovery pace and someone who will be aggressive in engaging with opponents. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
