Rangers gear up for the £45m game as Champions League riches await Gio van Bronckhorst's heroes

Rangers are in line for a whopping cash bounty if they defeat Eintracht Frankfurt and lift the Europa League.

Supporters are dreaming of success both on and off the pitch after a pulsating 3-1 win over Leipzig secured a Final berth.

The Ibrox side will earn an eye-popping £7.3m for defeating the Germans in Seville - taking their total to around £20m for their endeavours in this season's tournament.

And a win will not only rewrite the Rangers history books, it will secure the club £25m and direct entry into next season's Champions League.

That will see them bank a cast-iron £45m cash windfall but that will likely exceed £50m when factoring in ticket sales and merchandise.

Rivals Celtic look set to access the world's richest club competition but their city rivals are one win away from joining them and feasting on tournament riches for the first time in 12 years.

And Rangers will be in pot one of the tournament if they go and become Europa League champions in the showpiece Final on May 18.

Rangers are set to earn around £5m less than Ange Postecoglou's side next season due to the coefficient payment, which factors in success over a 10-year period.

But a cash loot remains on offer for a side who were too hot for Leipzig to handle as they secured a thrilling result at Ibrox.
