James Tavernier has issued his final Europa League battle cry as he insisted the Rangers squad are ready for a fight to the death.
The Ibrox skipper is hoping to become the first Gers captain since John Grieg 50 years ago to lift a European trophy.
And he has vowed he and his team-mates are ready to put their bodies on the line to get the job done against opponents Eintracht Frankfurt.
Tavernier - looking back on the advances at Ibrox over his seven seasons in Glasgow - he said: “Over the years we have recruited very good players, especially this team that I’m playing in now.
“It’s the best changing room I’ve been in. We’ve got a mixture of youth and experience.
“Come matchday, you now know one another and we will go to the death for one another.
“In any situation, I know the boys will prevail and the character of every single one of them will shine through. It’s a delight to be captain of these boys.
"It means the world to us to win this trophy.
"I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the great team behind us, the boss directing us.
"It is obviously one step away and we all want to make history and bring that cup back home.
"I know all the boys will give 110 per cent tomorrow when asked and we will leave everything out on the pitch and hopefully we will make everyone proud."
Tavernier has both personal and collective glory in sight this evening.
With seven goals, he leads the tournament’s golden boot race but faces competition from the German’s Japanese ace Daichi Kamada
But the Englishman insists his primary aim tonight will be ensuring Allan McGregor’s goal is not breached by any of the Frankfurt frontline, especially with Serbian ace Filip Kostic set to be his direct opponent.
“I’d like to finish this competition as the winner of the cup and picking up the trophy - and I’d like to finish as top goalscorer but my first aim is to try to keep a clean sheet.
“If we do that, it will obviously put us in a great position.
“I obviously respect how (Kostic) has been playing. He’s a top player.
“But I’ve just got to bring the best version of myself tomorrow night when the game starts and try to cause him problems and make him deal with me the majority of the game.
“That’s all I can really do.”
Tavernier has bitter experience when it comes to major finals having suffered defeat at Hampden in both the final of the 2016 Scottish Cup and then the League Cup three years later.
“Every day is different,” said the Rangers skipper. "Those finals were with different squads. I’ve just got to make sure that I’m the best version of myself tomorrow night, try to lead by example on the pitch and do the best I can.
“Hopefully that helps the lads and it can make this incredible journey special.”
