Borre pulled one back for Frankfurt in the 70th minute, when Kostic finds half a yard down the left and sends in a cross which the striker poked past McGregor. It was a typical poachers goal which Rangers defenders could have defended better.

Another Super Eagle, Calvin Bassey started in defence for the Scottish side. While Leon Balogun whose dad had travelled to Seville to support him was named on the bench.
