Europa League final 2022: Date, kick-off time and how to watch Rangers vs Eintracht Frankfurt

After losing 1-0 in Saxony last month, Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side powered to a 3-1 victory in Glasgow on Thursday, May 5 to book their spot in the final.

Their opponents, Eintracht Frankfurt, secured a 1-0 win over West Ham United.

The German side headed into the game with a 2-1 lead after beating David Moyes’ squad in London the week before. A first-half goal from Rafael Santos Borre Maury secured their spot against Rangers.

Frankfurt have previously lifted the trophy, defeating domestic rivals Mönchengladbach 4-3 over two legs in 1980.

Rangers’ last European final appearance was in the 2008 UEFA Cup when they lost 2-0 to Russian giants Zenit St Petersburg in Manchester before the competition was rebranded.

Going even further back, the last time Rangers won European silverware was in 1972 when they defeated Dynamo Moscow in the European Cup Winners' Cup final at the Nou Camp in Barcelona, Spain. This competition was later absorbed into the UEFA Cup.

Both sides will battle it out in Spain on May 18 for European silverware and a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League group stage if they have not qualified via their domestic league.

The teams last met in the semi-finals of the 1959/60 European Cup, which saw the German side win 6-1 at home and then 6-3 in Glasgow en route to a 7-3 final loss to Real Madrid.
