Scotland star Billy Gilmour has set his sights on WINNING the Europa League with continental debutants Brighton - and admits his only regret is that they won’t face his boyhood heroes and former club Rangers in the tournament.
Gilmour is flying high with the Seagulls shock troops as they prepare to make history when they take on AEK Athens in the south coast’s clubs first ever game in European competition.
It comes 26 years after they were just 28 minutes from oblivion when they were without a stadium and a goal down to Hereford and ready to drop out of the Football League after 77 years but they got the point they needed on that final day in 1997 to survive.
Now Gilmour is part of an Albion side sitting fifth in England’s Premier League and welcoming the Greek giants to the Amex Stadium.
