Eintracht Frankfurt won their first European trophy since 1980, beating Rangers on penalties after a gruelling 1-1 draw in Seville.
The Colombian forward Rafael Borre equalised in normal time and then scored the winning penalty to spark delirious celebrations.
Joe Aribo had given Rangers the lead with a cool finish in the 57th minute after a slip from Tuta, but Borre equalised 12 minutes later from Filip Kostic’s cross.
Kevin Trapp made a stunning point-blank save from Ryan Kent in the dying minutes of extra-time and then kept out a poor penalty from the substitute Aaron Ramsey in the subsequent shootout.
That allowed Borre to smash an emphatic winning kick past Allan McGregor and break Rangers’ hearts.
Rangers, came so close to their first European trophy in 50 years but Eintracht Frankfurt clinched the title for the first time in 42 years.
They won the title because of two saves from Kevin Trapp one from Ryan Kent in the dying minutes of extra-time, and another from Aaron Ramsey in the penalty shootout.
