There are thousands of Rangers fans in Seville for the biggest match in the club's history.

Up to 100,000 fans of the Glasgow team were expected to travel to Spain for the final.

50,000 Eintracht Frankfurt fans will join them.

Most of the people who have traveled do not have tickets for the game.

More tickets are believed to have been made available in the last few days.

Celtic lost the 2003 Uefa Cup final to Porto and Rangers fans will be able to watch the match at the La Cartuja stadium.

John Greig, who led the team to victory in the European Cup Winners' Cup Final in Barcelona in 1972, wrote an open letter to fans urging them to beambassadors.

To see Rangers in a European final is something many of us thought would not happen again, and I have been taken by the lengths you are going to in order to support the team.

It is vital that we all act in a responsible manner and remember the values that this institution stands for.

Seville Police said they were prepared for large numbers of supporters in the city for the match, with about 5,000 officers on duty.

Fans will be able to watch the game on big screens around the city, even though many bars will be closed on Wednesday.

Rangers have travelled from all over the world to watch the game, with some travelling from as far away as Australia, despite not having tickets for the game.

Brian spent 40 hours travelling to Seville. He spent about 5,000 on the trip so far, after buying a match ticket for 1,600 euros.

He told the radio station that you can double that if you include drinks. I traveled from Australia to see the game.

I am 54, I have been a Rangers fan my whole life and will probably never see this again.

More than 400 flights arrived in the city on Tuesday, with a similar number expected on Wednesday, with trains and coaches travelling to the city also full.

Many fans decided to come as soon as the final whistle went in the semi-finals, but knowing a match ticket would be a bonus.

They have arrived almost without expectation that they will get into the ground, but many are now realizing they will not get into the 57,000 capacity ground for supporters in the north of the city.

Up to 20,000 Rangers fans are expected to get into the game, leaving 30,000 fans without a ticket. There is a scramble to see where they can see the game.

A number of restaurants and bars are closing because they don't want to show the game. Rangers supporters might be out here but not see the game.

The biggest crowds at the stadiums where the match is being shown would be the challenge for the police in Seville, according to a professor in crowd psychology.

Spanish policing could be provocative and very heavy handed, but officers would need to address the legitimate ambitions of the vast majority of supporters, rather than just looking out for any troublemakers.

He said that the squares are packed with the red, white and blue colors of Rangers and the black of Eintracht Frankfurt supporters.

The meandering back streets are thronged with Scots and Germans but the truth is most of these fans don't have tickets.

There are fun zones, outdoor beer gardens and food stalls, a place where you can get your photo taken with the cup, and penalty shoot-out areas. It is a good-natured party atmosphere.

Large numbers of Rangers fans who have not traveled to Spain are expected to gather in the centre of Glasgow on Wednesday evening.

Police Scotland said they would do everything they could to reduce disruption, with the city council saying it had removed memorial benches in George Square, some of which were damaged last year during celebrations of Rangers winning the Scottish title.
