  1. ha ha, I know, just that my son ordering a frame to go next to his framed champions 55 top already ;)
  2. Does anyone think they will do a limited edition europa winners top like the champions top just after we won 55,
  3. Previous meetings, form guide, past UEFA finals, trivia and stats: Everything you ever wanted to know (and more) ahead of the 2022 UEFA Europa League final. Taken out most of it out to keep it shorter, read more on the link: https://www.uefa.com/news/0275-151ddbf62655-74dea6223a82-1000--frankfurt-vs-Rangers-facts/ 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. ... Previous UEFA finals Eintracht (W1 L1) 1960 European Cup 3-7 v Real Madrid 1980 UEFA Cup 3-3 agg (won on away goals) v Borussia Mönchengladbach Rangers (W1 L3) 1961 European Cup Winners' Cup 1-4 agg v Fiorentina 1967 European Cup Winners' Cup 0-1 v Bayern München (aet) 1972 European Cup Winners' Cup 3-2 v Dynamo Moscow 2008 UEFA Cup 0-2 v Zenit UEFA 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
  4. Maybe explains why Goldson hasn't signed a new contract. Gerrard kept saying he knows him well and talk often, aye I bet.
  5. British Super League British Super League being planned in secret with celtic and Rangers joining Prem in new US-style play-off system from the sun.
  6. Couldn't have said it better myself!
  7. 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 .
  8. didn't realise that, maybe another scouting trip to south america
  9. 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,?
  10. 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.
