Arthur's Column // 17th May 2022

Many of you will be reading this in Seville and the surrounding areas and I hope you are enjoying yourself, getting ready for the big game.

It's quite amazing to think that we are in the Europa League Final and stand just 90 minutes away from lifting the prestigious trophy.

Eintracht Frankfurt stand in our way and they are a very good side. But we can beat them.

Daichi Kamada is their star player. He is highly talented and has the ability to run the show if he is given time and space. But we have players who can stop him and that's where the likes of Ryan Jack and John Lundstarm will be so important.

If we can nullify their attacking threats, it will allow our own potential matchwinners to flourish.

This is the platform for Ryan Kent to go and display his undoubted talent. He has been in great form in the second half of the season, most notably in the games against Borussia Dortmund.

He can go down the left hand side or cut inside onto his right foot. He has quick feet and a great burst of pace over six or seven yards.

Ryan tempts defenders to commit and that can lead to free-kicks in dangerous areas or even a penalty kick. He can cause havoc and the Eintracht players will not be looking forward to playing against him. Of course, it will take a team performance to win the Cup, and I include the subs in that. Temperatures will be high and it will require lots of energy in the heat to get through this, with the possibility of extra-time something we can't rule out.

Giovanni and his staff will also be vital.

Trust me, Giovanni will be nice and calm just now and that will feed through to his players.

He has made some big and bold calls in this European run and he will not shy away if more are to be made tomorrow night. I hope that we are all celebrating a famous victory and we roll into Hampden Park on Saturday for the Scottish Cup Final against Hearts.

That, too, will be a difficult game but it gives the Club another chance of grabbing an important piece of silverware.

These are special moments to be a part of Rangers and we must make the most of them.

Enjoy tomorrow night and Saturday. Let's hope we have an incredible Cup Double by the weekend. We can do it!
