Van Bronckhorst names team for Europa League final

Rangers starting line-up for Europa League final announced with big call made on Kemar Roofe

WE are almost under way in Seville as Rangers bid to make history by lifting the Europa League trophy tonight.

All that stands in the way of Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men are Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt, who will be equally desperate to add European honours to their trophy cabinet.

There is not long to go until kick-off and Van Bronckhorst has now named his starting XI for the showpiece occasion.

Allan McGregor comes back into the starting XI at the expense of Jon McLaughlin, while captain James Tavernier and Croatia internationalist Borna Barisic start on either flank at wing-back.

Connor Goldson and Calvin Bassey start in central defence where they will be aided by John Lundstram, and Van Bronckhorst has opted for a midfield trio of Glen Kamara, Joe Aribo and Ryan Jack.

Ryan Kent and Scott Wright will provide a cutting edge in attack on either wing in the absence of centre-forward Alfredo Morelos, while Kemar Roofe has been named as a substitute.

Juventus loanee Aaron Ramsay, on-loan Manchester United forward Amad Diallo and promising youngster Alex Lowry are among those named on the bench.
