Rangers will line up in their fifth European final tonight when they face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League final in Seville’s Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.
While Frankfurt were granted automatic entry to the group stages, Rangers had already played four European fixtures this season before they’d even reached the groups.
A disappointing Champions League qualifying exit to Malmo saw Rangers drop into the Europa League playoff – and nobody – could have imagined what would come next.
Progression through a tough group was, somewhat, expected, before a Knockout playoff against Borussia Dortmund looked like bringing this season’s European adventures to a halt.
It didn’t though and marched on to the last 16 and the Light Blues began to Make Us Dream.
Here’s how Rangers booked their place in the Europa League final in Seville
