Rangers icon Ally McCoist sends supporters in Seville 'behave' message ahead of 'remarkable' Europa League final

Rangers icon Ally McCoist has urged fans travelling to Seville for the Europa League final to be on their best behaviour.

East Kilbride's famous son is the club's record goalscorer and was in charge at Ibrox as they plummeted to the fourth tier of Scottish football in 2012.

But he'll be a proud man on Wednesday when current boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst takes the Light Blues into a major European final for the first time since 2008 against Eintracht Frankfurt.

It would be the first continental trophy the Premiership giants have won since 1972 and fans have travelled in their thousands to southern Spain, with or without a match ticket.

A number of club icons - including Graeme Souness - have launched appeals for supporters abroad to maintain their discipline when supporting their team.

Now EK's Ally McCoist has joined them, and while endorsing the carnival atmosphere, knows representing Scotland and his beloved club appropriately is important.

In a video posted to Rangers' social media, he said: "This is a message to all the boys and girls travelling over to Seville to cheer on our team.

"It's a fantastic journey when you consider the journey we have been on in the last 10 years. It's absolutely remarkable from the lads getting to Seville.

"Now that we are there, we want to enjoy it and I want you all to have a great time.

"But please, please, please behave. You are representing our great club and our country. Let's behave ourselves and do Rangers proud."
