#SGEWHU1-0 (44) May 5, 2022 One more from Rangers may just be the dagger! Fashion Jr. gets on the end of a good ball in at the heart of the box, and it goes just by the right post!

They'll meet in the final on May 18! Kamara's goal for Rangers, which gave them the lead at 2-1 on aggregate, was absolutely delightful, but the finish was even better.

The Rangers manager was delighted with semi-final victory over RB Leipzig but said 'the pressure will be different' for the final against Frankfurt.

Of course we believe we can win the final but we respect the team [Eintracht] and will prepare well.” I knew the next goal would be decisive, John’s goal gave us the energy and power to play the closing minutes. Of course the pressure will be different for a final but we still have to play to our strengths.

Rangers, for the first time since 2008, will contest a European final. Awaiting the Scottish side in Seville will be Eintracht Frankfurt, the 1980 UEFA Cup ...

2 2 Sevilla have been to six Europa League finals, winning every one of them, including three in a row from 2014 to 2016. The 30-year-old former Newcastle United defender has taken the concept of a goalscoring full-back to new heights this season, with 16 goals in all competitions from the right side of defence. Eintracht Frankfurt reached the final of the European Cup in 1960. Having managed a creditable 0-0 draw at Old Trafford against Manchester United — who reached the final that season — Rangers ultimately dropped into the Europa League after managing only six points from six group games.

Dogged defending in the second half restricted Frankfurt to just a handful of chances for Knauff and Filip Kostic, who caused havoc on the left. Kent’s cross to the back post caused panic in the Leipzig defence and the loose ball broke to Lundstram to stroke into an unguarded net and spark wild scenes of celebration. The Germans enjoyed the majority of the ball in the second half and were back on level terms in the tie when Nkunku steered home his 32nd goal of the season from Angelino’s cross. Leipzig lost just once in 19 games between January and April, but have now been beaten in three of their last four to put their chances of Champions League football next season hanging in the balance. Last season they ended Celtic’s run of nine league titles in a row and will return to the Champions League for the first time since 2010 with victory over Frankfurt at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in 13 days’ time. The Scottish champions lost to Zenit St Petersburg in the UEFA Cup final of 2008, but have had to start again from the fourth tier following a financial collapse in 2012.

Seville, a week on Wednesday, was back in the diary. Despite his cool exterior there was a feeling of resignation about Van Bronckhorst as his team began to wilt under the weight of Leipzig’s response. Giovanni van Bronckhorst was the calmest man in Ibrox. This is to a man Steven Gerrard’s squad but no longer his team. This altered dynamic had the crowd in a frenzy. The urgency actually slowed down Rangers since the ball was surrendered too frequently in haste. In 2022 RB Leipzig brought the heft to this semi-final tie, a £200m ensemble owned by a soft drinks magnate who spends more on his private Falcon jet each year than Rangers do on players.

Domenico Tedesco was frustrated to see his Leipzig side give away a goal with Rangers' first chance - but he admits the Ibrox crowd make winning in…

"We knew we'd come back in the second half. "We hardly managed to tie the ball down. "Whenever we tried to overplay the pressing in the first half we were completely lacking in physicality.

"It's a big experience for them and that gives them extra motivation moving forward," the Leicester boss added. "It's been great for the club.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Brad Miller hit a two-run single in the 10th inning to give the Texas Rangers a 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday ...

“We just have some guys that aren’t really clicking the way I think they’re going to through the course of the season,” Philadelphia manager Joe Girardi said. It looked like the Phillies had gotten on the board in the sixth when Castellanos lined Perez’s first pitch to right. The Rangers begin a three-game series at New York Yankees on Friday night. Texas’ Adolis Garcia started the extra frame on second base and went to third on Kole Calhoun’s flyout to deep right. Pinch-hitter Nick Solak struck out before Miller lined a 1-0 slider from Brad Hand (1-1) to right to score Garcia and White. Philadelphia’s Zack Wheeler and the Rangers’ Martin Perez each were stellar in starting roles.

Some of that may be tactical – Rangers can counterattack in the Europa League to a far greater extent than they generally do at home – but Van Bronckhorst’s men appear to garner an extra level of resilience when the opposition are foreign. Celtic fans will not like the comparison but it is a valid one; when they enjoyed vast competitive advantage in Scotland after Rangers’ financial meltdown of 2012, they could not make anything like the European headway their oldest foes have done now. With the national team in a fine place under Steve Clarke, the broader picture is healthy. Instead, they must revel in the unity – and skill – that has brought them this far. When Celtic reached the Uefa Cup final of 2003 – also in Seville – the availability of the outstanding Henrik Larsson meant they could be accused of rampaging through the competition in cheat mode. What the late-night exchange further illustrated was a sense that Rangers are still regarded as serious operators in Europe. Although various matters, mostly with a foundation in history, back up that point it remains incredible that Giovanni van Bronckhorst will lead his team into the final in Seville. That much is entirely to Rangers’ credit.
