The Europa League Final takes place between Rangers and Eintracht Frankfurt in Seville on Tuesday night and tens of thousands of Rangers fans are expected to arrive in the Southern Spanish city for the match. It will be the first time that the Gers will be taking part in a European final since defeat in the 2008 UEFA Cup final against Zenit St Petersburg in Manchester.
Unfortunately that match was marred by fan unrest in the aftermath, with fans criticised for their destructive behaviour in the aftermath of that defeat. It was a night descrbed by Judge Andrew Blake, of Manchester Crown Court, as “the worst night of violence and destruction suffered by Manchester city centre since the blitz.”.
This has led Rangers legends to speak up in order to avoid such scenes once again, with former players and notable pundits such as Graeme Souness and Ally McCoist issuing messages begging fans to behave themselves. In a video released on Twitter, Souness spoke to the 700k followers on Rangers' Twitter account.
