I took a day off work to experience the Rangers fans in Sevilla for the 2022 Europa League Final.

I'm at Prague airport flying back to Malaga, and I bump into some Rangers fans during check in. So I ask, you making your way to Sevilla?
Prior this, I had seen on the news thousands of Rangers fans making their way to the Andalusian capital Sevilla by any means necessary to be there to cheer the boys in blue on their first European final since 2008.
Over 150,000 Rangers fans were expected to attend, and being only 2 hour drive away, how could I not go?
More so with the fact their opponents were Eintracht Frankfurt, who they themselves took over 30,000 away to the quarter final leg v FC Barcelona.
A football warzone was on the horizon, and I needed to be there.
Thankfully my friend Johnny decided to make the trip worthwhile and come with me. Also a big thanks to him for lending me his camera to shoot some footage when my phone was charging and over heating. Im sure he enjoyed the day as much as I did, we had a great day out together experience what the gers had to offer.
However, we were both absolutely gutted with the full time result. I can only imagine the scenes had Rangers won.
But that won't change the experience, myself, Johnny and the many Rangers fans had that day, Win or lose they all Im sure made memories for a lifetime.
Hopefully we can make it to the Ibrox one day.
Thank you Rangers Fans, and good luck for the 2022/2023 season.

I went to the game and as a lifelong Rangers fan, have found it difficult to watch anything about the final. This is the first. Rangers are the finest fans in the world and have the best repertoire of songs. It is therefore interesting to compare them with Frankfurt fans who many think of as the noisiest fans in their country. Now I know German football well having lived and worked there for more than 12yrs and believe me, 25yrs ago, Frankfurt along with all other German fans were pretty quiet. The revolution started in the 90’s when I remember the Dortmund fans recording on portable cassette, every song from the Rangers away fans. They were fascinated by us and determined to do something similar. With typical German efficiency, Bundesliga fans have become a fan masterclass. At first appearance you’d have to say that. However, they’ve done it so well it’s more like watching a perfect marching band with intricate steps, mesmerising moves reeking of disciplined precision throughout. There’s very little passion, or spontaneity, it’s all very contrived and perfectly planned to the split second. In Seville, the groups of Frankfurt fans in the streets did little or no singing, Rangers groups danced, drank and sang for 3 days and nights. However, once in the ground, every Frankfurt fan appeared dressed exactly the same, carried the same colours, hats and flags. They then, at precisely 3mins before the game started their immaculate performance and it seemed like they all carried a running sheet, meaning that regardless of what happened on the pitch, they suddenly burst into the next part of their show. It was gloriously precise and impressive to watch. Goodness knows what they would have done without modern, highly accurate iPhone clocks, or some parts of the crowd would have been embarrassed by starting their part too early, or even more embarrassing for a German, too late! I can just imagine everybody being handed the match running order performance sheet outside the ground and instructed to synchronise their watches before passing the turnstiles. So yes, Frankfurt fans were impressive, but lacked spontaneity. They were perfect yet almost too perfect. Rangers fans on the other hand had all manner of different clothing, tops and teeshirts including a lot of anniversary white shirts that blended well with Frankfurt! They sang day and night, certainly without the precision of Frankfurt, but with a passion that matched the ebb and flow of the game. They were chaotic, noisy, funny, rowdy and gloriously up and down as the match played out. Their song repertoire was immense. So much as I enjoyed the marching band performance of Frankfurt, who were friendly and very well organised, given the choice, it’s the passion and song variety driven by emotion and history formed out of generations of highly loyal supporters that I’d prefer any day…

The common thread here is that EF made more noise during the final. That might be true. If it was, i'll wager it was because so many Rangers fans were of an age they knew this was their last chance to witness a big Euro win. Nerves played a big part. Plus, Rangers fans were everywhere. EF were in one place. Had we been all together we'd have blown EF away. I was in the EF end as were hundreds of Rangers fans. When we all joined in we drowned them out. Nobody ever makes more noise than us when we are in one place. If you believe that, you've got zero experience of us except this one night. After the match it was like a funeral march from the stadium. This is modern football. If EF had beat us 30 years ago, the Spanish army wouldn't have been able to protect their fans. Not suggesting that's anything to be proud of. But Rangers would have ransacked Seville and EF's fans after losing back then. Doubt it? Ask the police in Barcelona...

Rangers fan's in this clip about 90% never had a ticket out of over 100.000 who made the trip.I saw kids with tickets plenty of girls as well so many of the vociferous fan's went to 2 other empty stadiums not being used to watch on large screens .I understand the young kids are the future supporters but so many of the noisy hordes never got a ticket plus for the first time ever Rangers fan's expected the club to win the Europa league esp after knocking Dortmund then RB Liepzig out both were favourites to win it after dropping down from the Champions league. Rangers did incredibly well our team cost 12 million to assemble but it was a chance lost against Frankfurt who's fan's part own the club (i heard)the Frankfurt fans were all in White very organised and in synchronization in everything they did .At the last Euro final Rangers were in against Zenit st Petersburg they only brought around 10.000 fan's Rangers crossed the border with over 150.000 fan's. The stadiums should be much larger capacitys 40.000 is too small for British and German teams in a Euro final .

Given the other side are anti nationalist as prescribed by their religious leaders, but more than half the population are Nationalists, the sums don't add up unless we are split between the two. I respect Unionist position and part of my history too. Time to move on to better things however.
