Rangers 31 RB Leipzig recap John Lundstram sends Gers to Europa League final in Seville
Leipzig held a narrow 1-0 lead from the first leg but it's all set for another raucous European night at Ibrox

It was nervy, but Rangers have reached their second European final in 14 years.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's will face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League final on Wednesday 18 May.

Rb Leipzig arrived at Ibrox with a slender 1-0 lead from the first leg.

It was wiped out in less than 25 minutes.

As he's done more than once this season, captain James Tavernier arrived at the back post to fire home Ryan Kent's cross.

Glen Kamara turned the tie on its head soon after, sending a low effort into the far corner to take the roof off the stadium.

Leipzig were always going to threaten at some points, and after Allan McGregor made a big save from Konrad Laimer, Christopher Nkunku levelled with smart first-time finish.

It looked like we were heading for extra-time, but John Lundstram had other ideas.

Another Kent cross wasn't dealt with well by Peter Gulacsi, and the ball was haded as far as the Scouser.

He guided the ball first time into the empty net to send the entire stadium wild.

They were watching the clock from that moment on, but the hosts held on to make it another historic night in Govan during a week when they lost one of their own.
