They've followed near and far on Rangers ’ remarkable European journey.
Now Ryan Jack has vowed to take the final step and reward the thousands upon thousands who have tracked Gio van Bronkhorst’s team on their long march towards glory with the ultimate prize.
The speed of the exodus from Glasgow to Andalusia cranked up another couple of notches yesterday as the Ibrox faithful continued to arrive by the planeload.
The punters have made their way to southern Spain any way they can, with those not lucky enough to have a ticket to for tomorrow's date with destiny at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium filling cars, couches and trains too in the hope of merely being within the city limits as their heroes go in search of Europa League immortality.
And Jack has no intention of letting them down.
The Gers midfielder said: “You see the fans travelling in numbers and all sorts of routes to get here to support us.
"Obviously it is unfortunate that only some will get in the stadium but for us, we take a lot of pride in that support we get and backing we get.
"I said before we are just the lucky ones who get to play in the final, there is 100,000 people who would want to be in our position.
"We have to put in a good performance tomorrow night and make them proud.
“We know the support we’ve got back home – if there are any people left back home. I think everyone has travelled out.
“We know the backing is always there. Come the game, we’re the lucky ones who are pulling on the jersey and playing in a major European final.”
Jack has every reason to feel luckier than most.
For much of the first half of the season, there were concerns over whether the Scotland midfielder would ever return as the force he was before the calf injury struck that would ended up costing him the best part of a year of action.
His lay-off meant he not only missed out on the title triumph he had done so much to contribute too, but also last year’s Euros.
So it’s no wonder the 30-year-old feels like he’s getting some overdue payback as he prepares to start the biggest game of his life.
“It’s definitely some light at the end of the tunnel,” he said with a relieved smile.
“Missing the Euros that summer was a tough moment, no doubt, but I worked hard in the off season.
“And then it took a bit longer than I thought it wasting was going to originally.
“It was a long journey, a lot of hard work, a lot of long hours.
“But times like this make it all the sweeter. Hopefully this is just the start of something special.”
Rangers have had to walk their own road to redemption since the events of 2012.
Even the club’s return to the Premiership in 2016 was not without moments of turmoil and embarrassment, like the mortifying defeat to Progres Neiderkorn which marked their European return after six years away from the continental stage.
Jack was there to sample the pain of that awful night in Luxembourg, which is why he plans to savour every moment of tonight’s moment as Gers aim to follow in the footsteps of the club’s 1972 Cup Winners’ Cup heroes.
"It has been a crazy journey,” he said.
"I would have never thought that I would be sitting here speaking to you about potentially playing in a Europa League final.
“I am proud and grateful to be here and hopefully tomorrow night we can take the trophy home.”
Asked about the chance to match the feat of Willie Waddell’s legends of Barcelona, he added: "Even in the meeting yesterday, the manager touched on that.
“He said we’ve got a chance as a team and a club and a staff to change the ‘1’ on the (training ground) wall to a ‘2’.
“You don’t need any more motivation than to go and try and create history and be remembered at the club for a long time.”
The Rangers fans will attempt to turn the heat up on Eintracht Frankfurt, with 20,000 supporters from Scotland set to roar on their team.
But van Bronckhorst’s team face a battle of their own when it comes to the conditions, with the temperature in Seville is still expected to be as high as 32 degrees by the time James Tavernier leads his team out the tunnel.
Jack said: “It’s a great feeling to make it to a major European final for the club. We came out a day early to get used to the heat, if you like, and it’s a very hot night tonight.
“But the stadium is great, the pitch is great. It looks like everything is there for a great night.
“It’s going to be tough. We’re obviously not used to the heat and it’s going to be 30-odd degrees.
“But as players and a club we have played in hot weather many a time. This is another night when we need to take that on board and make sure we’re on top of our hydration.
“We have people in the club who can look after that and keep us right.”
