Seville hosts the final of the Europa League as Eintracht Frankfurt and Rangers eye continental silverware.

The German side won this competition, then known as the Uefa Cup, in 1980 and have not lost in this year’s European campaign, overcoming Real Betis, Barcelona and West Ham on their way to the final after topping Group D.

Rangers, meanwhile, came through the play-off round of qualifying and struggled for consistency during the group stages, but have found their groove since stunning Borussia Dortmund in February.

James Tavernier is the competition’s top scorer, with all seven of the captain’s goals having come in the knockout stages.
