Nigeria’s Joe Aribo scored in the 57th minute to put Rangers ahead in the Europa League final clash against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Aribo takes advantage of the space to beat the goalkeeper with a crisp low finish.
Eintracht Frankfurt were handed a major boost for the Europa League final against Rangers on Wednesday as Jesper Lindstrom was deemed fit enough to make the starting line-up.
Danish international Lindstrom has been out for the last three weeks with a hamstring strain but the 22-year-old was included in Frankfurt’s front three, along with Daichi Kamada and Rafael Borre.
Almamy Toure also came in after starting on the bench in the second leg of the semi-final victory against West Ham United.
Rangers coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst went with the same team that faced RB Leipzig in the return match of their semi-final, with Joe Aribo starting in attack in Seville and Kemar Roofe on the bench.
