Ryanair brutally trolls Rangers following Europa League final defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt

Irish airline Ryanair got in on the fun of mocking Rangers for losing out in the Europa League final with a zinger of a tweet.

The Scottish giants came up just short in a penalty shootout - with big-name loan signing Aaron Ramsey the unfortunate one who missed the decisive kick.

But there was little mercy shown by Ryanair's social media team as evidenced by the below tweet.

Even officials from Eintracht Frankfurt themselves have also taken part in the trolling of the Glaswegian club.

Club president Peter Fischer taunted Rangers fans after the Bundesliga outfit triumphed in Seville.

The Gers reportedly took an incredible 100,000 fans to Spain, with supporters travelling in any way possible to support their side, but they failed to generate the famous feared Ibrox atmosphere.

Fischer then admitted he was far from impressed with the 20,000 who were inside the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.

He said: "We had respect for our opponents. It was a fixture worth a final. Two big, traditional clubs, both with big fanbases. But what I have to say is that everybody from Glasgow told me "we won't hear you, because we will be so loud and that we will make it a home game. They still said that today everywhere.

Eintracht Frankfurt actually got to take the trophy home (@eintracht_eng)

"Where have they been? Where in the world have they been? We couldn't hear them and then they disappeared after the final whistle. This shows there is less sportsmanship and that's what I criticise.

"Our fanbase helped us win the game, they were fantastic against the 'super louds'."

Joe Aribo capitalised on a defensive mishap to put Rangers ahead after 57 minutes but the Germans came roaring back and equalised through Rafael Borre shortly after.

It all came down to spot-kicks in energy-sapping conditions and it was Frankfurt who won the shoot-out to lift their second major European trophy, 42 years after winning the UEFA Cup against Borussia Monchengladbach.
