Match report as Rangers beat RB Leipzig to reach the Europa League final; James Tavernier opened the scoring with Glen Kamara adding a second soon after; Christopher Nkunku levelled the tie before John Lundstram fired in the winner; the Ibrox side will play Frankfurt in Seville on May 18
Thursday 5 May 2022 22:16, UK
John Lundstram hit a dramatic late winner to send Rangers into their first European final for 14 years with a 3-2 aggregate victory over RB Leipzig in the Europa League semi-final.
At a rocking Ibrox, the home side started with intent as captain James Tavernier opened the scoring early on to become the leading scorer in the competition this season with seven goals.
Glen Kamara added a second before the half-hour mark in a game dedicated to legendary Rangers kit man Jimmy Bell, who died earlier this week.
Christopher Nkunku then levelled the tie for Leipzig in the second half, but Lundstram smashed home the winner in the 81st minute.
Rangers face Eintracht Frankfurt – who beat West Ham 3-1 on aggregate – in the Europa League final in Seville on May 18, looking to go one better than in 2008 when they lost the UEFA Cup final to Zenit Saint Petersburg.
