Legacy on the line for Rangers in Europa League final

Rangers captain James Tavernier wants to leave his legacy on the Glasgow giants by delivering just the club's second European trophy on their 150th anniversary in Wednesday's Europa League final.

However, Rangers renaissance began by winning the title without even losing a game last season.
