Rangers fan turns to Tinder in bid to find Seville accommodation ahead of Europa League final

We've seen a lot of people desperately trying to get their trip to Seville for the Europa League final off the ground but this one has to be up there with the best.

One Rangers fan in need of a place to stay in the city has been hailed as a "genius" for his plan to find a room.

Harnessing the powers of Tinder, Connor set up a profile in a bid to find a Spanish host after making the journey abroad to watch the Light Blues take on Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday.

In a Love Actually-style profile, Connor has shared a variety of photos wearing Rangers gear, with a pleading message written on pieces of paper, reports the Daily Record.

Connor's message, written in Spanish, reads: "Hello Madam, my name is Connor and I’m a Rangers fan in Seville for the final.

"I am desperately looking for a place to stay. Hotels cost more than 600 euros so if you have a free bed or a sofa I can sleep on, it would be a big help.

"I’d be prepared to pay for this service. Thank you. Come on Rangers."

The 23-year-old's post has since gone viral on Twitter, with one user hoping to help him.

One local has since shared his profile online, with the caption "tinder >>> airbnb".

He added that he was waiting for Connor to respond to his message and urged anyone who knew him to inform him he had a new like.

And another posted: "What a guy, I hope he gets lodging."
