An estimated 100,000 Rangers fans from across the world have descended on Seville for this evening’s crucial showdown, which kicked off at 8pm.

Both sets of supporters have been in good spirits, taking photos together in local bars with some fans singing along to a Rangers piper in 35 degree heat.

However, Spanish National Police Chief Juan Carlos Castro believes the effect of alcohol on some fans behaviour has been a concern.

Government officials are thought to have deployed over 5,500 police and security forces in an effort to control the large crowds.
