Rangers and Eintracht Frankfurt fans clash as chairs hurled in ugly Seville scenes

Shocking footage shows football fans clashing ahead of tonight's Europa League Final clash.

The video shows fans fighting and throwing chairs outside a bar on Seville's Avenue de Menéndez Pelayo just hours before the 8pm kick off.

It starts with the fans fist-fighting at close quarters as the Frankfurt supporters march along the main route to the stadium at Seville's Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.

Tables and fencing is then hurled between the groups and local people begin to yell and the fighting stops.

But both sets of fans are seen picking up and throwing furniture back and forth at one and other.

Hundreds of Eintracht Frankfurt fans come into sight, some of the wearing balaclavas, and the video ends with them streaming away.

Another clip shows the mele described above, but with one fan seemingly knocked out cold.

The footage shows the Germans walking away but they regroup and attack the Rangers fans again.

They round on two or three Rangers fans and the video ends with one man lying on his back.

More footage uploaded after the incident shows Rangers fans mulling around inside the bar area.

Blood is splattered all across the floor, mixed with broken glass and other debris.

Tens of thousands of German and Scottish fans are descending on the city and up until now have been enjoying a carnival atmosphere.

However, the Record reported last night on Eintracht Frankfurt Ultras ambushing Gers fans on the streets of Seville and launching fireworks in their direction.

Gers insiders had warned the Record this week that they were told Spanish police were extremely concerned about an extreme element of the German club's fanbase.
