WITH Rangers making it through to the Europa League final, there's suddenly about half of Glasgow looking to book last-minute trips to Seville.

The Spanish city hosted Celtic for the UEFA Cup final in 2003 and there's set to be a repeat after Gio van Bronckhorst's side smashed RB Leipzig to reach the showpiece game.

They'll take on Eintracht Frankfurt, who famously took over Camp Nou as their side defeated Barcelona, so there's sure to be a huge presence in the city.

Unfortunately that means the price of flights has gone through the roof, with a direct flight from Glasgow to Seville well over £700.

Luckily we're a thrifty lot here at the Glasgow Times, so we've put together some alternatives for Rangers fans dreaming of being there to potentially see James Tavernier lift the trophy.

All prices are for getting there only - because that's the important bit - and you'll need to factor in accomodation but we reckon we can get you there on a budget.

All prices were correct at the time of publishing.
