RANGERS have been backed to secured a historic Europa League and Scottish Cup double this week.
According to Sporting Index, Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side have an 8/5 chance to lift both trophies in the coming days.
Rangers will play Eintracht Frankfurt in Seville on Wednesday night for a shot at European glory, before then taking to Hampden to face Hearts in the Scottish Cup showpiece.
The betting firm's experts also predict that Rangers will find the net a combined titla of four times across both finals.
The Europa League final is tipped to feature three goals, with the deadlock set to be broken in the 36th-minute, while the first Rangers goal is forecast to hit the back of the net on 56-minutes.
van Bronckhorst’s side are 57/50 to lift the trophy in Seville. This can be broken down as 21/10 to do so in 90 minutes and 11/1 to snatch victory in penalties.
In Saturday’s Scottish Cup final, they are strong favourites at 40/85 to beat Hearts.
Neville Burdock, Head of Trading at Sporting Index, said: “In one of the biggest weeks in Rangers’ history, we make the Gers 8/5 to emerge victorious in both the Europa League and Scottish Cup finals. We predict Rangers will score four times this week, with their first goal forecast to come in the 56th minute in Seville.
“The Glasgow side come into their tie with Eintracht Frankfurt as slight underdogs at 57/50, a position they have been comfortable with for most of this European campaign, but it will be a different story when they line up against Hearts on Saturday, as strong odd-on favourites.”
