Rangers: Europa League win would change transfer plans at Ibrox

Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst will need to attract players who can make the Gers a force in the Champions League and clinch Scottish Premiership titles if the Europa League trophy heads back to Ibrox, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

Van Bronckhorst was appointed as the Glasgow giants’ manager last November, following Steven Gerrard’s departure, and he is on the cusp of ending the season in stunning fashion.

Rangers are preparing for the Europa League final, which will see them go head-to-head with German side Eintracht Frankfurt at Sevilla’s Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium next Wednesday.

The Gers booked their place in the showpiece by overcoming RB Leipzig at a raucous Ibrox earlier this month, with John Lundstram striking what proved to be the all-important winner on aggregate.

Van Bronckhorst’s charges have also seen off Borussia Dortmund, Red Star Belgrade and Braga since successfully negotiating the group stage of the competition.

Victory over Frankfurt would see Rangers book their place in next season’s Champions League and pick up their first continental trophy since winning the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1972.

While the Gers are set to compete in the Europa League final, they have suffered the disappointment of seeing arch-rivals Celtic clinch the Scottish Premiership title this week.

Jones told GIVEMESPORT: “I think they’ll keep a lid on things
