21:49
Another conclusion for the Scots. Kent lets a pass through towards the edge of the box for Jack, who shoots from 20 yards inside the right. The ball goes just over the crossbar, Trapp does not have to intervene.

26
21:28
Now the Scots have the first good finish! Aribo tries a flick from a central position of 22 meters, but puts the ball wafer-thin past the left post.
24
21:25
Eintracht Frankfurt has been the game-determining team so far and also comes to conclusions. There is not much to see from the Rangers offensively so far.
21
21:22
The following corner kick is also dangerous! The corner is played briefly to the edge of the penalty area to Lindstrøm, who fails to hit the ball with the shot. So N’Dicka gets the ball with his head, but just misses the ball.
20
21:21
Unity again! Knauff pulls into the middle from the right and tries to finish with his left from 14 meters, but McGregorg stretches and steers the attempt strongly around the left post.

21:18
Strong action from Lindstrøm, who ejects Bassey with a great hook on the left. But his cross is cleared by Goldson.

21:16
Glasgow’s prolific right-back Tavernier intervened offensively for the first time, but failed to find his cross. Touré confidently clears his head.
12
21:13
The SGE has the first good chance of the game. Kamada is sent into the box via the left but then waits too long to finish. So the Japanese is pushed too far to the outside and fails from an acute angle at McGregor. The Rangers keeper also has Sow’s follow-up shot from distance.

21:10
Frankfurt’s captain is back and has been put on a head bandage. With a fresh jersey from the sidelines, Rode seems to be able to continue. By the way, Lundstram got off without a warning.
7
21:08
Rode’s bleeding still has to be stopped. To be on the safe side, Jakić is warming up.
5
21:07
Lundstram unhappily catches Rode on the head with an open sole. Frankfurt’s captain suffers a laceration and needs treatment.
4
21:05
Aribo appears for the first time in Frankfurt’s penalty area, but Tuta and N’Dicka can clear with combined forces.
3
21:04

The final is on! Frankfurt kicked off in white jerseys, Rangers are dressed in blue.
20:53
The final game will be led by the Slovenian team around referee Slavko Vinčić. He will be assisted by Tomaz Klancnik and Andraz Kovacic. VAR is Dutchman Pol van Boekel.
20:42
The weather could also be a factor tonight. In Seville it’s still almost 30 degrees just before kick-off. Who can play better in these conditions?
20:34
On the way to this final, both teams have already experienced memorable European evenings. From the point of view of the SBU, the 3:2 win at the Camp Nou near Barcelona is particularly noteworthy. In the semi-finals, the Glasner team beat West Ham United (2-1, 1-0). Glasgow, on the other hand, have already knocked out two Bundesliga clubs. Alongside Borussia Dortmund in the Round of 16 (4-2, 2-2), Rangers beat RB Leipzig in the last four (0-1, 3-1).
20:25
Rangers FC shows just how seriously coach van Bronckhorst takes the game. Last weekend, the coach rested the entire starting XI in the league, but still won 3-1 against Heart of Midlothian. So there are eleven new players on the pitch today. It is exactly the starting eleven that celebrated the final against Leipzig at the beginning of May.
20:13
But Rangers from Glasgow also have an “incredible journey” behind them, as coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst said before the final. Because in addition to the Europa League final, the Scots also have the chance to win the domestic cup. Here, too, the Rangers are in the final, which takes place on Saturday. Today, however, it is also about the great opportunity to qualify for the premier class, in which the winner of the Europa League automatically moves. “I’m very happy with the performance of my players in Europe. We’re not in the final by luck. We deserve it and I’m sure my players will give everything to win the trophy,” said van Bronckhorst.
20:04
Let’s take a look at the SBU lineup. Compared to the 2-2 win against Mainz 05 on the last Bundesliga matchday, Glasner made one change. Lindstrøm, who recovered in time, moves into attacking midfield for Hauge. Unfortunately, Eintracht still had to do without the injured defender Hinteregger in the final.
19:56
One of the biggest games in the club’s history is imminent for Eintracht Frankfurt. The atmosphere around the club has been immense for weeks, almost 40,000 to 50,000 Frankfurt fans are said to have made the trip to Seville. Even if they couldn’t get a ticket for the game, they at least want to be in town if Frankfurt has a chance at their first international title since 1980. “We are ready for the final and feel in great shape,” said SGE head coach Oliver Glasner. The 47-year-old also has a plan how the Hessians can crack the strong Rangers: “The decisive thing will be to get our strengths on the pitch: play fast, courageously, aggressively and defensively consistently.”
19:44
Welcome to the Europa League final, this year taking place at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán in Seville. Eintracht Frankfurt or Rangers FC? Who will win this final? Kick-off is at 9 p.m.
