The game has not yet started, but everything else did: the media hype, the press conferences, the trainings and the fans clashes. Hours before the Europa League finals in Seville, the streets of this beautiful Spanish town are filled with Glasgow Rangers and Eintracht Frankfurt fans, who are soaking up the sun, enjoying the day, looking for any available tickets, or are just out to make a mess. Five Eintracht Frankfurt fans were arrested in Seville on Tuesday night after an attack launched on Rangers supporters. Several police vans were called at around midnight to neutralize ugly scenes in the center of the Spanish city where glasses, flares and tables were being thrown. There were no serious injuries, a police statement confirmed on Wednesday, although one Rangers fan sustained a head injury. One flare landed inches from the spot where the Rangers supporters were standing, near to Irish bar O’Neills on Paseo de Colon. One Rangers supporter could be seen picking up a glass and throwing it in the direction of the German hooligans on the other side of the police line. But police said the problems had been started by around 200 Eintracht Frankfurt fans who had started attacking Rangers fans by Seville Cathedral.

Some Rangers fans taunted and insulted German fans by singing the banned song ‘10 German Bombers’. The song refers to UK’s Royal Air Forces actions against German bombers during the Second World War, but the England Football Association has warned England fans that they face punishment if they sing the ‘discriminatory’ song at international games. Yet, a group of Rangers fans changed the words from the ‘RAF from England ‘ to ‘RAF from Britain’ and sang in on the streets of Sevilla. They also sang offensive songs with words like ‘F—- the Pope and the Vatican’, aimed at the Catholic supporters of Eintracht Frankfurt.Africa will be cheering for Rangers in tonight’s Europa League finalsUp to 100,000 Rangers fans and at least 60,000 Frankfurt supporters are expected to have followed their teams to the final, raising concerns about security.
