Rangers: On a run of four consecutive wins across all competitions, Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men are six points adrift in the Scottish title race but are into the Scottish Cup final against Hearts after edging bitter rivals Celtic 2-1.

Joe Aribo may be on his way out of Rangers having been linked with multiple Premier League sides but has success Europa League success in his sights.

Beaten finalists 14 years ago, the ‘Gers are on a mission to make it to this year’s final in Seville, their first in Europe since the competition’s revamping. It would not only prevent an all-German decider but see clubs from England and Scotland do battle if they make it through demanding encounters in the last four. Dortmund and Leipzig being in the same league show that we can do this.” Aside from the assists was the Nigerian’s involvement at the backend of moves, evidenced by a staggering 11 shot-creating actions. “We can win playing against anyone. It has not been a smooth journey to this point for Joe Aribo and Rangers who have had to overcome hurdles en route to becoming the first Scottish club to reach the semi-finals in the Europa League era.

The pillars of Rangers' run to the Europa League semi-finals under ... (The Athletic)

The Athletic analyses how Rangers have grown in confidence, energy and desire on their run to the last four.

This speed of attack can be considered in parallel with how much a team likes to keep hold of the ball when they have it, measured by passes per sequence. One man who has been key to this is captain James Tavernier. The right-back has six goals and two assists from 11 appearances in the competition proper this term. This leaves him 37th on the list of 41 players in this cohort. This is a testament to the team’s fitness during a hectic few months. Van Bronckhorst’s approach, however, is defined by a higher press, a predominantly man-marking scheme and a desire to get pressure on the ball. Leipzig will find that they are up against a team that seems to be growing in confidence at this stage of the competition. We can look at a team’s direct speed, which outlines how fast they typically advance the ball towards goal (in metres per second), to illustrate this. It was about shutting off space as a unit, strangling possession to the wings and minimising the running required from their attacking players. Gerrard’s side was defined by its organisation out of possession and the way they could control a game without dominating it. The quarter-finals are the point when it becomes anyone’s game, but when do underdogs earn the right to enter a tie with parity? The result not only reassured the support and cemented second place with a game to spare, but this more direct and unpredictable performance also energised the stadium. A 6-4 aggregate win over Borussia Dortmund to seal a place in the last 16 answered that.

RB Leipzig v Rangers: Europa League semi-final, first leg – live! (The Guardian)

Minute-by-minute report: Will either team take control of this tie in Germany? Join Nick Ames.

Tonight they go again, in this not-particularly-new-fangled Europa League of ours – and they’re tantalisingly close to making history again. Back then, they edged past Fiorentina in the Uefa Cup, only to fall short against Zenit at the last. So at long as there are no disasters tonight, the Ibrox crowd may well be able to see them home next time out. Our players believe, they’ve trained well, they look very focused and we’re going to play in a great atmosphere against a good team. Nkunku goes down in the box as he tries to spin Goldson, but tumbles a bit too easily. Rangers’ fans have been making themselves seen and heard in town all afternoon, in tremendous number.

West Ham v Eintracht Frankfurt: Europa League semi-final, first leg ... (The Guardian)

Minute-by-minute report: Will West Ham continue their dream run and take a lead to Germany? Find out with Rob Smyth.

With Craig Dawson likely to be the only recognised centre-back available, David Moyes will probably go with the extra protection of a back three. David Moyes, ostensibly admired but still insidiously disparaged, doesn’t get nearly enough credit for creating what is surely, with a respectful nod to the Paolo Di Canio era, the best West Ham team since the Boys of 86. This is a great piece on Yeboah from the archive. (Don’t play silly buggers and start talking about the 1999 Intertoto Cup, not on a night like tonight.) And they haven’t played in a European semi-final since 1975-76, when - of all the gin joints - they beat Eintracht Frankfurt before losing to Anderlecht in a pulsating final. This has been a terrific response from West Ham, and inevitably the goal came from a high-class set piece. And yet my favourite moment is when he decided to climb atop a pile of guys in Munich. The bad stuff is always more memorable innit.” But if you want charm, romance, great stories and a refreshing lack of entitlement, the Europa League is where it’s at. The ball deflects off a West Ham defender and away from Borre. In the end he takes a touch and is dispossessed by Hinteregger. Antonio had very little time, but it was still a chance. 35 min Knauff, the 20-year-old on loan from Dortmund, looks a player. Cresswell stretches between Knauff and Areola to make a desperate, brilliant tackle, but Knauff is able to collect the loose ball. Borre runs 40 yards and then angles a superb through pass to Knauff, charging infield from the right.

West Ham let historic Europa League night slip past as Eintracht ... (ESPN)

It should have been a historic night in London. Instead, West Ham ceded advantage to a Eintracht Frankfurt side that again made its presence felt.

West Ham can avoid that fate in the second leg next week in Germany, but they have to cope with the occasion better than they did here. Instead of this being a famous night in West Ham's modern-day history, they have the ignominious honour of becoming just the third side to lose a Europa League semifinal first leg at home. "I don't know if it is the level -- the level of the games go up and maybe we don't quite have the quality at times required to be at this level," Moyes said. There was a lack of intensity in their defending, while going forward they never hit the exhilarating heights that have got them into this position. Moyes made six changes in West Ham's previous outing at Chelsea in an effort to keep preserve energy levels for this but they still rallied far too late in the piece. After almost 15 minutes of stabilising themselves in front of a capacity crowd fearing the worst, West Ham did improve.

Europa League: West Ham can take lessons into Eintracht Frankfurt ... (Daily Mail)

West Ham's hopes of reaching a first European final for 46 years were dented in their 2-1 defeat at home to Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday night.

And all the pressure will be on the hosts in next week's decider. An early leveller would spark life back into the Hammers, yet they need to be much more precise and clinical to make that happen. It was not only the start of each half when Frankfurt posed West Ham problems, nevertheless. And after a 1-1 draw against Lyon, Moyes' men blitzed their way to a swaggering 3-0 win out in France to reach the last four. Keeping Frankfurt at bay will make things much easier in the second leg, as only a goal would be required to send the tie to extra-time and a 2-0 win would be enough to book their place in the final. The Hammers got off to the worst start possible in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final tie, falling a goal behind inside the first minute when Ansgar Knauff headed home after 49 seconds.

Frankfurt vs West Ham facts (UEFA.com)

Eintracht Frankfurt are in control of their UEFA Europa League semi-final against West Ham thanks to a 2-1 first-leg win in London.

• No team has ever won a UEFA Europa League semi-final after losing the first leg at home. The subsequent 3-0 victory at Lyon was just the fourth win in their last 12 UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League games outside England (D2 L6), although those also include this season's group stage successes in Zagreb and Vienna. In each of their last two continental campaigns, in 2015/16 and 2016/17, they were eliminated in the UEFA Europa League qualifying phase by Romanian club Astra Giurgiu. Three teams have gone on to win the competition on their maiden appearance, the most recent another London club, Chelsea, in 2012/13. • Having won the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1964/65, West Ham would reach the semi-finals, final and quarter-finals of that same competition over the next 16 years. • Frankfurt are participating in the UEFA Europa League semi-finals for the second time. • The German club's home record in the UEFA Europa League, including qualifying, is now W15 D7 L3, though they have won just one of the last six matches, against Olympiacos on Matchday 3, drawing their other four European home games this term. • Eintracht have won all nine previous UEFA ties in which they recorded an away victory in the first leg. • Eintracht's last European semi-final was against West Ham's city rivals Chelsea in the 2018/19 UEFA Europa League, a tie they lost on penalties at Stamford Bridge after two 1-1 draws to make it four defeats out of four against English clubs in two-legged UEFA knockout ties. • The Hammers have lost three of the four previous UEFA ties in which they were defeated at home in the first leg, their sole comeback success against Metz in the 1999 UEFA Intertoto Cup final (0-1 h, 3-1 a). The only previous tie in which they lost the first leg 1-2 at home was that 1965/66 European Cup Winners' Cup semi-final against Dortmund. The Hammers would go on to lose the final, 4-2 to Anderlecht in Brussels. • Eintracht have now qualified for the UEFA Europa League knockout phase on all of their four group stage appearances, notably reaching the semi-finals in 2018/19, when they were denied a place in the final only by that penalty shoot-out defeat against eventual winners Chelsea. They won all six of their group games that season – the only German club ever to achieve the feat – but managed just three this term, two against Olympiacos (3-1 h, 2-1 a) and one against Antwerp (1-0 a), in addition to three draws – 2-2 at home to Antwerp and 1-1 in both games against Fenerbahçe.
