Ibrox stadium was electric as hundreds of Rangers fans descended on Govan amid Europa league final celebrations.
Edmiston was a sea of red, white and blue as supporters emerged from cars and buses, making their pilgrimage to the Glasgow stadium.
Exuberant fans sang, danced and hugged on their way into the car park with some tearing up at the prospect of Giovanni Van Brockhurst’s side lifting the trophy in Seville tonight.
Large queues of punters poured out of neighbouring Gers pubs and bars as supporters nervously await the 8pm kick off.
Stalls selling sombreros and scarves lined the streets of Ibrox, leading to the main stand where hundreds where turning up in their strips to purchase historic memorabilia.
Mum Danielle Fulton, from Kilmarnock, left the rest of her Celtic-supporting family at home to ‘head out to party’ at Ibrox.
The 30-year-old told the Record: “It means so much to be here, it’s going down in history.
“I’m going back to Kilmarnock to watch the game in a local pub with friends, it’ll be a great atmosphere.
“Rangers will definitely win, I think it will be 3-2."
Life-long fan Liz McNay said she is 'gutted' to not be celebrating in Seville but she won't let it dampen her spirits.
The 51-year-old said: "A lot of my friends are in Seville and the atmosphere looks amazing.
"I couldn't get a dog-sitter. We came into Ibrox to celebrate with everyone, this is such a historical day.
"No matter the result it’s been brilliant.”
Her daughter Marion McNay, 31, added: “We are absolutely winning tonight. Rangers have every chance and the fans are behind them.”
Darren Thomson, 31, from Kilwinning, brought his daughter Lily-Eva Thomson, 4, to Ibrox to join in the celebrations.
The nursery tot has been part of the Teddy Bear's club since birth after Darren brought her straight from Glasgow’s Southern General Hospital to the stadium.
Darren said: "We’re all Rangers fans, Lily-Eva’s been a fan since she was born. We would have been in Seville but she doesn’t have a passport.
"My cousin Andrew married his partner Lynsey on Saturday and they booked Seville for their honeymoon.
"We are so jealous of them.
"But it's emotional seeing all the fans and the kids too. It’s great to take Lily-Eva up here to soak up the atmosphere."
Speaking ahead of the result he said: "Win or lose it’s amazing seeing all the fans in Seville.
"We’re watching the game in a local pub in Kilwinning. Events like this bring the community together, it’s great.”
Superfan Colin Berry, from Wishaw, took time off from his work at Network Rail in preparation for a long weekend of celebrations.
The 47-year-old was partying at Ibrox with his son Jack, 15 and said he will be in tears if his side wins tonight.
He told the Record: "This day means everything.
"I’m not a crying man but I was in tears when we got through and I’ll be in tears tonight as well whatever the result.
"Last time we were in a European final Jack was just born, now we’re here together. It’s amazing.”
"I think we will win 3-1 - if Rangers win it will be heavenly."
For Charlene McAliece, 42, Rangers taking home a trophy tonight will be for fans who are no longer with us.
The mum from Beith said: “My grandfather Charles Clunie died over 40 years ago when he was 42, the same age I am now.
"Rangers was his life. Before his death he was caught up in the Ibrox disaster.
"For him to see this now, he’d be on a high. Driving along Edminston Drive and seeing all the fans, hearing the music playing, I was in tears.
"This is so much more than a game. It’s about all the fans celebrating together."
Charlene was joined by her daughter Kayla-Skye Ingram, 15, and Harvey, four.
Kayla-Skye’s love for the Gers inspired her to take up football and has played forward for her local girls’ team for three years.
The budding footballer said: “It’s great to be here. I think Rangers will win 3-1.”
Thousands of Rangers fans have travelled to Seville from all four corners of the world to watch the Glasgow team take on German side Eintracht Frankfurt at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
The majority of fans who made the pilgrimage have not got tickets to the game, which will be one of the biggest matches in the club's history.
