A group of Edinburgh Rangers fans have been left with just "five minutes" to catch their connecting flight to Seville after delays from Aer Lingus at the capital's airport.
Jacob Farr and around a dozen other Rangers fans reliant on catching the plane to Portugal to make a connecting flight to Seville are currently 'trapped' in Edinburgh Airport as they eagerly await to board the delayed flight.
Thousands of Rangers fans are making their way to the Spanish city as the Glasgow team prepares to face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League final on Wednesday.
Reportedly around 100,000 supporters may make the trip, despite rising accommodation and travel costs.

Due to the last minute two hour long delay the football fans only have five minutes to get off the plane and catch the flight to Faro which is seeming more and more unlikely.
Speaking to Edinburgh Live Rangers fan Jacob said: “Hoping our Aer Lingus flight is sorted out by the airline.
"It was delayed last minute by two hours, we are reliant on flying into Portugal for our accommodation and for the final.
"The connecting flight is only two hours after our original arrival.
“We have tickets for the game but now worried we may miss it.
“We bumped into a group of four who said that they were scunnered because they needed their connecting flight to Brussels and will now miss it.
"It’s pandemonium here."

The Edinburgh fan continued: "Aer Lingus said a flight was delayed coming in and that is why the delay is taking place.
“We have five minutes from the rearranged time to land, disembark and then catch our connecting flight to Faro.
“Rangers fans pulling their hair out all over the airport.
“Hopefully the airline will fix the issue.
“Some people will be worse than us - we have two days to make the final but it is a shambles.”
Luckily if the group miss their connecting flights they still have two days before the big match to reach Seville but with so many fans trying to reach the Spanish city it could be costly.
Aer Lingus have been contacted for comment regarding the delays.
