DEREK MCINNES has urged Rangers to become history makers as they go up against Frankfurt in the Europa League final on Wednesday.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side are in their first European final in 14 years and are looking to win their first piece of continental silverware since the 1972 European Cup Winners’ Cup.
And McInnes hopes his former side can finish off their hard work up until this point and he reckons a victory in Seville would be fantastic for the Scottish game.
He wrote in the Daily Record: "They've fallen short in the league yet still have such an exciting finish to the season in front of them.
"Ange deserves a lot of credit for banking two trophies. Rangers have stopped Celtic winning a Treble but now they must win something for themselves.
"And they still have the Scottish Cup to play for, too.
"The fact the final comes just a few days after Seville is potentially an issue. They will be facing a strong and motivated Hearts team and will do so with a squad that is already stretched thin.
"Win or lose, Rangers' achievements in Europe should not be underplayed.
"If they win this one it will supersede anything they could have achieved domestically.
"Because history shows it is far more difficult to win a European competition.
"I was brought up listening to my dad talk about the 1972 team. These Rangers players have a chance to engrain themselves not only in Rangers' history but that of Scottish football."
