Rangers legend with Europa League final gold-dust tickets backs team to lift trophy after strides made since Celtic defeat

Rangers legend Barry Ferguson has his paws on gold-dust tickets for tonight's Europa League final - and he's convinced he will see his team go one better than he managed in 2008 by getting their hands on the trophy.
