I took a day off work to experience the Rangers fans in Sevilla for the 2022 Europa League Final.

- I'm at Prague airport flying back to Malaga, and I bump into some Rangers fans during check in. So I ask, you making your way to Sevilla?
Prior this, I had seen on the news thousands of Rangers fans making their way to the Andalusian capital Sevilla by any means necessary to be there to cheer the boys in blue on their first European final since 2008.
Over 150,000 Rangers fans were expected to attend, and being only 2 hour drive away, how could I not go?
More so with the fact their opponents were Eintracht Frankfurt, who they themselves took over 30,000 away to the quarter final leg v FC Barcelona.
A football warzone was on the horizon, and I needed to be there.
Thankfully my friend Johnny decided to make the trip worthwhile and come with me. Also a big thanks to him for lending me his camera to shoot some footage when my phone was charging and over heating. Im sure he enjoyed the day as much as I did, we had a great day out together experience what the gers had to offer.
However, we were both absolutely gutted with the full time result. I can only imagine the scenes had Rangers won.
But that won't change the experience, myself, Johnny and the many Rangers fans had that day, Win or lose they all Im sure made memories for a lifetime.
Hopefully we can make it to the Ibrox one day.
Thank you Rangers Fans, and good luck for the 2022/2023 season. - Sport

That club gives Scottish football bags of credibility. Amazing supporters.
The best club and fans in the world 💙 proud to be one of the people 💙 great video thank you 👍💙🇬🇧WATP🇬🇧💙
Great video.... rangers fans are outstanding home and away
Is that Gary young fae Springburn?
You crashed the work van like David Murray crashed ya club.
I went to the game and as a lifelong Rangers fan, have found it difficult to watch anything about the final. This is the first.
Rangers are the finest fans in the world and have the best repertoire of songs. It is therefore interesting to compare them with Frankfurt fans who many think of as the noisiest fans in their country.
Now I know German football well having lived and worked there for more than 12yrs and believe me, 25yrs ago, Frankfurt along with all other German fans were pretty quiet. The revolution started in the 90’s when I remember the Dortmund fans recording on portable cassette, every song from the Rangers away fans. They were fascinated by us and determined to do something similar. With typical German efficiency, Bundesliga fans have become a fan masterclass. At first appearance you’d have to say that.
However, they’ve done it so well it’s more like watching a perfect marching band with intricate steps, mesmerising moves reeking of disciplined precision throughout. There’s very little passion, or spontaneity, it’s all very contrived and perfectly planned to the split second.
In Seville, the groups of Frankfurt fans in the streets did little or no singing, Rangers groups danced, drank and sang for 3 days and nights. However, once in the ground, every Frankfurt fan appeared dressed exactly the same, carried the same colours, hats and flags. They then, at precisely 3mins before the game started their immaculate performance and it seemed like they all carried a running sheet, meaning that regardless of what happened on the pitch, they suddenly burst into the next part of their show. It was gloriously precise and impressive to watch. Goodness knows what they would have done without modern, highly accurate iPhone clocks, or some parts of the crowd would have been embarrassed by starting their part too early, or even more embarrassing for a German, too late! I can just imagine everybody being handed the match running order performance sheet outside the ground and instructed to synchronise their watches before passing the turnstiles.
So yes, Frankfurt fans were impressive, but lacked spontaneity. They were perfect yet almost too perfect. Rangers fans on the other hand had all manner of different clothing, tops and teeshirts including a lot of anniversary white shirts that blended well with Frankfurt! They sang day and night, certainly without the precision of Frankfurt, but with a passion that matched the ebb and flow of the game. They were chaotic, noisy, funny, rowdy and gloriously up and down as the match played out. Their song repertoire was immense.
So much as I enjoyed the marching band performance of Frankfurt, who were friendly and very well organised, given the choice, it’s the passion and song variety driven by emotion and history formed out of generations of highly loyal supporters that I’d prefer any day…
hell of a comment mate it gave me an insight into german supporters that i never knew , i hope we hav gained a lot of support and respect from german fans , we gave are all that nite and i feel we could have nicked it at the end but thats football , what a journey what a team WATP , belfast bear .
Greatest team in the world. Every title has been earned against our rivals, whilst our rivals need us to be down on our knees to win anything. The only show in Scotland worth talking about 🇬🇧
You Salty buns love to project onto the mighty Glasgow Celtic dont you.
😆🤡😆🤡😆🤡😆
On your knees because you cheated Scottish football for years and years and years.
All those loyal fans who walked away and let their club die.
@@josephpilkington7917 on our knees? We were just at a European final whilst you play against wifi passwords and sell goals to them in preseason 😂
@@Brodie-dj8hf nobody cares or remembers who comes second
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
superb video and great coverage of how much the fans loved and enjoyed the occasion.
great video mate well put together WATP 🔴⚪️🔵
Great video this! Well done!
the greatest team in the world the greatest support in the world keep alfredo and joe aribo its a must and we will be back in more finals like this soon
I was there , it's only now I've been able to watch anything to do with the trip , boy what an experience 💙 had a blast , just hurt so much at the time to lose in the way we did. Could it be Hungary next season ??? We can dare to dream once again ..... FOLLOW FOLLOW WATP 🏴🇬🇧
Best fans in the World. Scottish and British. WATP

Glad you enjoyed your day pal.
Pity we never got the result we wanted.
Get yourself over to Scotland for a game at Ibrox. You'll be made most welcome🇬🇧
Never seen so many rangers fans everywhere. Even when we were on the way back there was bears in faro in Portugal walking about at 6 in the morning the next morning😂😂unreal
Great video, but can you tell me why the Rangers fans weren't the same during the final? It seemed as if the Frankfurt fans made all the noise.
I love the Rangers, but it really seemed like the Frankfurt fans were much louder in the final.
Rangers fans had all their flags and pyro taken off them at the gate on the way in, not to mention that everyone was dehydrated aswell
@@callum5217 That's a bullshit excuse...Frankfurt Fans stood in the sun all day as well and there were no drinks. There is always a way to get Pyro in if you are creative. Rangers fans made a noise all week but when the game started and when it mattered there was not going on
@@kleinkalibar7486 no noise all week 😂😂I was there mate you are chatting the most shit. More Gers in seville too
@@kleinkalibar7486 the truth is the stadium was full of the imposter supporters club with money & connections. If you put 50/50 rangers /eintracht the atmosphere would be magic. But the hobnobs see it as a good day out and pinch the tickets from real fans.
Hopefully your day was nice with gers
The common thread here is that EF made more noise during the final. That might be true. If it was, i'll wager it was because so many Rangers fans were of an age they knew this was their last chance to witness a big Euro win. Nerves played a big part. Plus, Rangers fans were everywhere. EF were in one place. Had we been all together we'd have blown EF away. I was in the EF end as were hundreds of Rangers fans. When we all joined in we drowned them out. Nobody ever makes more noise than us when we are in one place. If you believe that, you've got zero experience of us except this one night. After the match it was like a funeral march from the stadium. This is modern football. If EF had beat us 30 years ago, the Spanish army wouldn't have been able to protect their fans. Not suggesting that's anything to be proud of. But Rangers would have ransacked Seville and EF's fans after losing back then. Doubt it? Ask the police in Barcelona...
Great video mate. Best fans in the world! 🔴⚪️🔵
Rangers fan's in this clip about 90% never had a ticket out of over 100.000 who made the trip.I saw kids with tickets plenty of girls as well so many of the vociferous fan's went to 2 other empty stadiums not being used to watch on large screens .I understand the young kids are the future supporters but so many of the noisy hordes never got a ticket plus for the first time ever Rangers fan's expected the club to win the Europa league esp after knocking Dortmund then RB Liepzig out both were favourites to win it after dropping down from the Champions league. Rangers did incredibly well our team cost 12 million to assemble but it was a chance lost against Frankfurt who's fan's part own the club (i heard)the Frankfurt fans were all in White very organised and in synchronization in everything they did .At the last Euro final Rangers were in against Zenit st Petersburg they only brought around 10.000 fan's Rangers crossed the border with over 150.000 fan's. The stadiums should be much larger capacitys 40.000 is too small for British and German teams in a Euro final .

I hope yous all noticed the Herald's headline
The Gherald? Aye fantastic stuff.
As Tina would say SIMPLY THE BEST 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Vamoooss
WATP, just saying. 😎 🇬🇧
Only the bears
Great club, but tbh: the support of Frankfurt was better!
Great video, saw myself under the bridge lol , an experience I’ll never forget. We went by bus 53 of us , 50 hours there and 60 hours back. FOLLOW FOLLOW 🔴⚪️🔵
Wow
It's there in black and white, rangers fc 1872- died 2012, end of!!💯%🇮🇪
A bit like Celtic Football and Atletic club, which went in 1994 ya fud
@@ab4113 here we never went bankrupt Fergus mccann came in so we never went bust, the bank were wanting 6-7 million off us, and all rhe time yous were spending multiple millions on players that yous never paid for, yous went bankrupt, look at the videos off you club and it tells yous everything, yous aren't rangers anymore yous started from the scratch and formed '''the rangers''', then yous bought your park off old sevco for a quid, why did naismith leave because the club sunk and the accets were sold, yous are newco the rangers, not rangers fc, look at the papers yous died 2012, 😉
@@ab4113 look it up we nearly went bust over 6 millions but mccann came in and all the time yous are running up multiple millions because murry was in wae bank of Scotland, but the new bank took over lloyds and yous went into liquidation which means club is nomore and bankrupt, yous let your club die every team in Scotland no your 10 yr history, 1 Cup in 10 yr lol
Your name is no longer there, check your history (you love to tell everyone about it) plus you are now operated by three entities now, one will come in handy when the abuse cases finally get settled
@@ab4113 here a think it's yous that are sick in the head that's all you hear off yous because yous can't take the fact yous ain't rangers fc anymore, why yous keep bringing kids into it, yous are messed up zombies🤣🇮🇪
I think yous forget about all the abuse in your royal family scumbags
Got to love agent Ramsey
Bheast
club for all my arse
Puddle drinkers 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Stop talking about Celtic fans like that.
Glasgow is Green and White 🍀
@paul englberger who told you that?
Glasgow Rangers 1873
Glasgow Celtic 1888.
We've owned Glasgow since the day of our beautiful conception.
Where as celtic have diseased Glasgow since they were shat on to this earth.
We are the people.🇬🇧
Know your place bogtrotter
🧟♀️ 🧟♀️ 🧟♂️ 🧟♂️ 🧟♂️ 🧟♀️
Not even the best fans in Glasgow
Best fans in the world 😀😀😀ex managers and players were begging to behave pre Seville 😀they hate anyone whose not white Protestant ffs,scotlands shame 😀do your homework pal
Why you watching videos of thr Rangers!!! We are always in your head, you dream of being us lol, WATP
@@gordongallacher2449 they are obsessed mate.
🤮
We are the best team in the world, but we are not all Unionists. Many, probably at least half, probably more, are now Scottish Nationalists and want freedom from the UK. Get your facts right and stop just repeating old out of date truths!
You're not talking any facts either? Where's your source that at least half of Rangers fans are Nats? 😂
What absolute nonsense hahahahaha
Your ilk are unwelcome at Ibrox and you know it
@@nicmore87 he's defo on some hard drugs
Loads of mates all Gers fans, half Scottish Nationalists, half Unionists. I notice less than half crowd sing God save now at games! Given the other side are anti nationalist as prescribed by their religious leaders, but more than half the population are Nationalists, the sums don't add up unless we are split between the two. I respect Unionist position and part of my history too. Time to move on to better things however.
Wrong best fans
By far celtic fans
Love it..thank you from Melbourne, Australia from a Dundonian ❤🤍💙🏴🇬🇧❤🤍💙
Lions being led by a Dutch Donkey
Greatest team in the world. Every title has been earned against our rivals, whilst our rivals need us to be down on our knees to win anything. The only show in Scotland worth talking about 🇬🇧
Celtic have won more league titles than Rangers in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 00s, 10s & 20s but don't let that fact interfere with your delusion.......
