Alfredo Morelos played his part in getting Rangers to the final but another Colombian could be the biggest threat to their Europa League dream.
Rafael Borre was Eintracht Frankfurt’s main man as he scored and set-up another in their Rhein-Main 2-2 derby draw with Mainz in the MEWA Arena.
The Colombian is an international teammate of Morelos.
It might be worth Giovanni van Bronckhorst or his staff trying to get the inside track on him from one of their own before Wednesday’s final clash in Seville’s Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.
The Rangers ’ scouting report and footage from this game will certainly more than flag up Borre.
The Frankfurt star will be going into Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium full of confidence.
His side fell behind to a goal from Marcus Ingvartsen before Borre came to the fore.
His header from a free kick forced Finn Dahmen into a save before Tuta swept in the leveller.
Borre then turned the game on its head as he was played through by Ansgar Knauff and he swept the ball brilliantly across Dahmen and into the net.
Eintracht’s strength is certainly going forward but it is going the other way where Rangers could well capitalise.
They are not the strongest defensively and that was shown as they cheaply surrendered possession and allowed Ingvartsen to sweep home another cross from Knauff.
There was also an injury scare for Eintracht when Evan Ndicka went off to be replaced by Christopher Lenz.
Eintracht finished a disappointing mid-table position in the Bundesliga but it has been clear for some time that the Europa League was their priority.
The good thing for Rangers is that they have already beaten two of the top four teams in the Bundesliga in Borussia Dortmund and Red Bull Leipzig.
