Eintracht Frankfurt go head to head with Rangers at Seville's Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán in the 2021/22 UEFA Europa League final looking to become the first winners of the competition from Germany and Scotland respectively.
...
• Eintracht kicked off their 2021/22 European campaign in the UEFA Europa League group stage and go into the final undefeated after 12 matches. They topped Group D in the autumn with 12 points ahead of Olympiacos, Fenerbahçe and Antwerp to qualify directly for the round of 16, where they eliminated Real Betis after extra time (2-1 a, 1-1 h). They then claimed another Spanish scalp in the quarter-final, knocking out Barcelona with a memorable 3-2 victory in the Camp Nou following another 1-1 draw in Frankfurt, before winning both semi-final legs against West Ham United (2-1 a, 1-0 h).
• Rangers' 19-match 2021/22 European campaign began in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round, though they spent the autumn in UEFA Europa League Group A, where they finished as runners-up to Lyon with a game to spare ahead of Sparta Praha and Brøndby. They then eliminated Borussia Dortmund 6-4 on aggregate in the knockout round play-offs (4-2 a, 2-2 h) and Crvena zvezda 4-2 in the round of 16 (3-0 h, 1-2 a) before overturning 1-0 away defeats in both the quarter-final, against Braga, and the semi-final, against Leipzig, with stirring second-leg 3-1 wins at Ibrox.
Previous meetings
• The clubs have been paired together just once previously in European competition, Frankfurt comprehensively beating Rangers in the semi-final of the 1959/60 European Cup when they followed a 6-1 home win with a 6-3 second-leg victory at Ibrox, Alfred Pfaff scoring twice in both games. Paul Osswald's side returned to Glasgow for the final, which they lost 7-3 at Hampden Park to Real Madrid.
...
Form guide
Eintracht Frankfurt's road to the Europa League final• Eintracht have qualified for the UEFA Europa League knockout phase on all of their four group stage appearances, their previous best campaign in 2018/19 ending in the semi-finals, when they lost a penalty shoot-out to eventual winners Chelsea. They won all six of their group games that season – the only German club ever to achieve the feat – but managed just three this term, two against Olympiacos (3-1 h, 2-1 a) and one against Antwerp (1-0 a), in addition to three draws – 2-2 at home to Antwerp and 1-1 in both games against Fenerbahçe. They have maintained their unbeaten record in the six knockout games against Betis, Barcelona and West Ham (W4 D2).
...
Rangers
• This is Rangers' first appearance in the UEFA Europa League final, their three previous participations in the competition's knockout phase having all come to a halt in the last 16.
• Having gone through their 2020/21 European campaign without a single defeat outside Glasgow (W5 D2), Rangers failed to record a win on their continental travels this term (D3 L2) until that 4-2 victory in Dortmund. They have lost all three games away from Ibrox since – in Belgrade, Braga and Leipzig.

1972 European Cup Winners' Cup 3-2 v Dynamo Moscow
2008 UEFA Cup 0-2 v ZenitUEFA Europa League final focus
...• Eintracht and Rangers are the 17th and 18th different clubs to have reached the UEFA Europa League final – and either club would be just the seventh to win the competition. Only three countries – Spain (eight wins), England (three) and Portugal (one) – have provided previous winners.
...
Links and trivia
...• Rangers captain and right-back James Tavernier opened the scoring in the semi-final second leg against Leipzig with his seventh UEFA Europa League goal of the season, all in the knockout phase, making him the 2021/22 competition's outright top scorer. No defender has ever previously topped the UEFA Europa League end-of-season goal charts. Kamada is Frankfurt's leading marksman on five goals.
• Tavernier is three goals shy of the all-time individual scoring record in the UEFA Europa League knockout phase, Falcao's total of ten for Porto in 2010/11.
• Rangers' Joe Aribo is the only player to have appeared on all 14 UEFA Europa League matchdays this season (12 starts), although seven of his team-mates have appeared in 13 games – Tavernier, Barišić, Allan McGregor, Connor Goldson, Calvin Bassey and semi-final second-leg scorers Glen Kamara and John Lundstram.
• This is Rangers' 19th European encounter of the season – the most in any of the club's 52 UEFA club competition campaigns, eclipsing their 2019/20 total of 18.
Penalty shoot-outs
• Eintracht's record in two UEFA penalty shoot-outs is W0 L2:
4-5 v Salzburg, 1993/94 UEFA Cup quarter-final
3-4 v Chelsea, 2018/19 UEFA Europa League semi-final• Rangers' record in four UEFA penalty shoot-outs is W3 L1:
1-3 v Borussia Dortmund, 1999/2000 UEFA Cup third round
4-3 v Paris Saint-Germain, 2001/02 UEFA Cup third round
4-2 v Marítimo, 2004/05 UEFA Cup first round
4-2 v Fiorentina, 2007/08 UEFA Cup semi-final- gmcf and spanther22

Maybe explains why Goldson hasn't signed a new contract. Gerrard kept saying he knows him well and talk often, aye I bet.

I've always been proud of my country but I can't ignore how my country feels about one of the most important things in my life , my Football Club.
Rangers are a constant link in my life , from childhood to the present.
They are a link to my family - for 4 generations, we have always been bluenoses, with family links in Ulster to this day.
To many of us, Rangers are an extension of our faith and I refuse to apologise for that.
I know to some people a lot of this stuff might seem a bit unfashionable and daft but it's the way I see Rangers.
We all have memories that these people would take away from us if we let them , to kill the Club I love.
NO WAY WILL I STAND BY AND WATCH THAT. Not while I draw breath.
We need to stand up for what we think is important
This is our culture- our way of life. More than just a Football Club
God Bless the Rangers
Couldn't have said it better myself!

Yes it's true and it's the RFFF who are involved as are VB and other supporters groups/clubs etc.
Not sure of agenda but patently obvious the main topic will be how to handle the SFA's kangaroo court decision from yesterday.
Is this open to all rangers forum groups?
Reason I ask is that my company developed the bouncy bouncy app which has an embedded forum, they have not been officially invited I guess due to it being an embedded iPhone app forum .
-
We can only sign under 18yr olds even on loan
didn't realise that, maybe another scouting trip to south america
-
Good point, question is can we sign over 18 players in loan, we had a few the other year, Weiss diouf etc.
Scenario:
Gattusso secures another 12 months at Milan, then Milan do us a favour and loans him out to us for 12 months,?
-
A vote of no confidence by lobbying other clubs on the SPL or the SFL board may be a step forward but the problem is most of them hate us.

Bill Struth
Willie Waddell
Walter Smith
Jock Wallace.
This for me!

I would be interested just trying to get in touch with my family who would kill fir these!

Funnily enough, I just visited and was promoted to take part in an online survey (11.30am), kindly told them that they journalists seem to have an biased view of my particular team!! Didnt go into specifics, diplomacy and all that.
Still no update on the takeover.

Thanks tommyw thats very good of you to share with us, so fur 103 posts before this you had no extreme feelings like this to share with us ? Right let's move on, so what you are saying is that craig burley was one of the banana throwers at Mark Walters ?
What's your prob pal, if you feel like posting every 5 mins the good for you, give yoursel a pat on the back.
Luke I said just seen this on a web site and thought to share with fellow bears. I've not mentioned the racist thing at all just that Burley was having a pop at one of our players so posted the article. If it's a poor post it would not have went to 5+ pages eh!

Who the fuck are you tommyw ?
Who am I?

Anybody seen this?
what a knob...
Can ESPN justify the presence of their co-commentator? Craig Burley, notorious doom lord of the co-commentary brotherhood, appeared on Talksport this morning with ex-Celt Alan Brazil and soon worked himself into a proper grumble on the subject of new Rangers signing El Hadji Diouf. "I commentate on some of the SPL games and I'm gutted that I'm going to have to at some point commentate on this fella." Many within the game - not least supporters of Rangers - find troubling many aspects of this transfer. But Burley seems to forget that he is not merely a rent-a-gob or newspaper columnist. He is, in fact, the co-commentator for ESPN, and entrusted to provide analysis and wisdom alongside the more professional and sensible Derek Rae. Both the Club and the player may wonder if Burley's impartiality may be in question. Regardless, the ex-Celt then went on to make further comments which may be more serious. "The sooner he leaves our little island here in the UK on a single ticket somewhere it will not come soon enough for me." Less charitable observers may wonder if this is a racist comment. At the very least it is a questionable choice of words. Burley has chosen a very odd time to allow his mouth to run away from him. Recent criticism of and keen attention to the words and actions of those in the spotlight of the footballing media hasn't ended well for all. Burley has often found himself the subject of fan and fellow media discontent over his constant stream of negativity and personal comments about players that seem to border on grudges. His next appearance on ESPN commentating on Diouf and Rangers will see greater focus than ever before on this controversial curmudgeon. Some may question whether, in light of his comments today, he deserves the chance to say anything. -
I think he will be a really good signing, football wise. He could run riot in the SPL, and hes the type of player who can cause the tims some problems in the upcoming old firm games.
The only thing that worries me is the possible chance of him causing unrest in the changing rooms behind closed doors. His attitude and application have to be 100% to fit into this Rangers team, who have been together through thick and thin the past few years.
