WHAT A SAVE!
Kevin Trapp produces an outstanding save to deny the on-rushing Ryan Kent who meets Roofe’s cross from the by-line but the keeper sticks out a leg to make a stunning point-blank stop.
The last action of the match sees James Tavernier’s free-kick from 25-yards saved by Trapp.
Double substitution for Rangers...
Kemar Roofe is stripped and ready to come on. Left-back Borna Barisic hits the deck for a third time with cramp and the Croatian’s race is run as he leaves the field in tears.
Aaron Ramsey is also brought on in place of poor Fashion Sakala. It’s harsh on the Zambian who came off the bench in the second half.
Great strike!
A fantastic strike from the advancing Borna Barisic who forces Trapp into a good save.
Moments later, Frankfurt substitute Hrustic drags an effort narrowly wide of the target. Rangers fans have an important role to play now as the attempt to lift their side.
Two changes still available to GVB...
ET-HALF-TIME: 1-1 it remains. 15 minutes left to play...
Aaron Ramsey and Kemar Roofe remain on the Rangers bench. Will the Dutchman make further alterations?
Tension in the air...
Frankfurt have dropped off the pace slightly as we enter the final minute of the first period of extra-time. Steven Davis has an effort blocked as Rangers press forward. How are the nerves?
Sub for Rangers...
Goal scorer Joe Aribo makes way after 100 minutes of action. The Nigerian is replaced by New York City loanee James Sands.
Chances at either end...
Scott Arfield has brought much-needed fresh legs to the game and the attacking midfielder blazes over from a promising position after a fast counter-attack.
Meanwhile, at the opposite end Bassey’s slip allows Borre to bare down on goal but the Rangers defender recovers well to make a vital block.
Who wants it most?
FULL-TIME: Eintracht Frankfurt 1-1 Rangers. Strap yourselves in for another 30 minutes...
Rangers needed extra-time to overcome Portuguese outfit Braga in the quarter-finals. Can they do it again? It’s survival of the fittest now in the evening heat of Seville.
All to play for...
Fashion Sakala forced Trapp into a routine save after the Zambian is forced wide and fails to get the necessary power on his shot to trouble the keeper.
You can sense a nervousness among the Rangers fans as the clock ticks down. Inside the final five minutes of this evenly-matched final.... 1-1 it remains.
