Rangers send fan message ahead of Europa League final as Graeme Souness urges travellers 'remember who you represent'

Rangers have pleaded with fans to "behave themselves" in Seville as the Europa League final looms.

The Ibrox side head out to Spain in pursuit of a second ever European trophy with Eintracht Frankfurt in their way.

It will be their first continental final since Manchester in 2008 when there were serious scenes of disorder ahead of the UEFA Cup Final with Zenit.

Turning to club legend Graeme Souness to deliver the message, Rangers have reminded fans of their responsibility as many get set to fly out.

In a video posted on the club's social media, Souness is seen calling on fans to behave themselves - while still enjoying a party in the Spanish sun.

He said: "This is a message for everyone going to Seville.

"Go there, enjoy yourselves, have a super time. Our team has done incredibly well getting there.

"When you think of the journey we've been on for the last ten years to be now playing in a serious European final, it's a fantastic achievement.

"They've done their bit, now it's your turn. You have to turn up and behave yourselves. Have a party, but behave yourselves.

"You're going there as an ambassador for this great football club. You must go there and behave, otherwise we'll have all the headlines which can damage us for a long, long time.

"Please go there and behave yourselves. Have a super time."

It echoes the message from managing director Stewart Robertson who previously said: He said: "To supporters with or without tickets, go and enjoy yourself, go and enjoy the occasion. I remember in 2008 thinking 'will I see Rangers in a European final again?'

"It is fantastic. Go and enjoy the occasion, go and be a good ambassador for Rangers.

"We are going to a beautiful city, in Seville, go and enjoy the city but let's go and do it in the right way, the right manner. Go and enjoy it, have a good time.

"Regardless of numbers go and do it, respect the city, respect the locals, there will be people going about their day-to-day business.
