Graeme Souness says Rangers' Europa League run to final is already greatest achievement in club's history

Graeme Souness says Rangers' Europa League run to final is already greatest achievement in club's history

GRAEME SOUNESS believes Rangers reaching the Europa League final is already the greatest achievement in the club's history. 

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side will go head to head with Frankfurt in Seville tomorrow for a chance to lift the famous European trophy. 

And Souness, who played and managed the Ibrox outfit, believes a victory would be the fitting way to end the ultimate journey.

He told Sky Sports: "In terms of prestige and improving the national game, Rangers have done enormous things for the stature of Scottish football by getting to this Wednesday's Europa League final against Eintracht Frankfurt.

"It just won't be appreciated by everyone in Scotland, though.

"It's truly enormous and this is a unique story as well. If you go back to 10 years ago, when they were thrown out of the big league and nearly went out of business completely, people took great joy in that.

"Their way up has been a long, slow journey. Then within 10 years they're in the final of a European competition.

"That tells you everything you need to know about that football club. Everyone who is connected to the club deserves great credit for where Rangers find themselves on May 18."
