WE are almost under way in Seville as Rangers bid to make history by lifting the Europa League trophy tonight.
All that stands in the way of Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men are Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt, who will be equally desperate to add European honours to their trophy cabinet.
There is not long to go until kick-off and Van Bronckhorst has now named his starting XI for the showpiece occasion.
Allan McGregor comes back into the starting XI at the expense of Jon McLaughlin, while captain James Tavernier and Croatia internationalist Borna Barisic start on either flank at wing-back.
Connor Goldson and Calvin Bassey start in central defence where they will be aided by John Lundstram, and Van Bronckhorst has opted for a midfield trio of Glen Kamara, Joe Aribo and Ryan Jack.
Ryan Kent and Scott Wright will provide a cutting edge in attack on either wing in the absence of centre-forward Alfredo Morelos, while Kemar Roofe has been named as a substitute.
Juventus loanee Aaron Ramsay, on-loan Manchester United forward Amad Diallo and promising youngster Alex Lowry are among those named on the bench.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
