Oliver Glasner says watching Palace in Europa League would be best leaving gift

Departing Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has told his Conference League finalists that the best leaving gift they could give him would be the opportunity to watch them in the Europa League next season.

The Eagles are 90 minutes away from turning Glasner’s dream into a reality, with just Rayo Vallecano standing in the way of more silverware under the Austrian, who will mark the end of his transformative Crystal Palace tenure when the final whistle blows at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig.

Palace chairman Steve Parish has credited Glasner with taking his club to an unprecedented level, and, on Tuesday evening in Saxony, Glasner once again challenged the south Londoners not to place any limits on their ambitions.
