With potentially only 90 minutes separating them from a second European honour, Rangers travel to the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in Seville to battle Eintracht Frankfurt in Wednesday's Europa League final.

Oliver Glasner's giant-killing side proved that their quarter-final success over Barcelona was no fluke in the semi-finals, as they sent West Ham United packing courtesy of a 3-1 aggregate success.

Meanwhile, the current crop of Gers players took part in one of the most famous nights in Ibrox memory in their second leg against RB Leipzig - overturning a 1-0 deficit to win 3-1 on the night and advance to a sixth European final.

This will not be the inaugural meeting between Frankfurt and Rangers, and here Sports Mole takes a closer look at how the two sides have fared against one another in the past.


Frankfurt and Rangers have met twice before in European competition, with the two Europa League finalists doing battle in the semi-finals of the 1959-60 European Cup.

Fans and neutrals alike certainly got their money's worth over the two legs, as a total of 16 goals flew into the back of the net across the two matches - 12 of them for Die Adler.

Rangers' trip to the Deutsche Bank Park for the first leg started off in a positive manner, as Eric Caldow's penalty cancelled out Dieter Stinka's opener to see the two clubs go in level at half time.

However, the Scottish side were then torn to shreds in the second 45, as Frankfurt struck five times to take a mammoth 6-1 first-leg lead into the return match at Ibrox three weeks later.

After finding the back of the net twice in the first leg, Frankfurt centre-back Dieter Lindner struck after six minutes of play at Ibrox before Ian McMillan quickly responded for Rangers.

The free-scoring German side would still head into half time with a 3-1 lead, and even though McMillan pounced again for Rangers alongside Davie Wilson, Frankfurt humbled the Gers on their own turf in a 6-3 success.

Die Adler would therefore advance to the final courtesy of a 12-4 aggregate success, but Real Madrid would then put seven past the German side in the final - four coming for Ferenc Puskas while Alfredo Di Stefano also netted a hat-trick.

A similarly goal-laden showing between the two clubs in Seville would not go amiss as far as the viewing spectacle is concerned, but fans should certainly not expect such lacklustre defending from their clubs 62 years on.
