RAMSEY WANTING A SECOND CHANCE OF EUROPEAN GLORY

- By RONNIE ESPLIN

Aaron Ramsey wants to grab a second chance of Europa League success when Rangers take on Eintracht Frankfurt.

The former Arsenal midfielder missed the 2019 final in Baku with injury when the Gunners lost 4-1 to London rivals Chelsea.

The Wales internatio­nal, left, has been in and out of the Rangers team because of injury since joining on loan from Juventus on the final day of January.

He missed both legs of the semi-final against RB

Leipzig because of a hamstring problem but he started two of Rangers’ final three league matches and desperatel­y hopes for better fortune ahead of tomorrow’s Seville showpiece.

The 31-year-old said: “It’s definitely right up there, to play in a final in a European competitio­n.

“They don’t come around very often. Unfortunat­ely I missed the Arsenal one a few years back, hopefully I can make up for it in this one.

“We got to the final and lost to Chelsea but for me to miss it through injury was tough but hopefully I get an opportunit­y now to make up for that.” A huge travelling support is expected to make its way to Seville with Glasgow Airport estimating that 10,000 Rangers fans would leave its runways for Spain on Monday alone.

Ramsey said: “There’s a lot of excitement. We’ve put ourselves in an unbelievab­le position. We’ve produced some memorable results and performanc­es throughout this campaign and now there’s just one step further and we’re there.

“We have a chance of creating history with this club. The squad has been a different class throughout. It’s going to be no different for the final.”
