It's colourful in the Broomloan Stand, housing the Rangers ultras.
Giant, thick streamers coloured blue, white and red have been unfurled from the top deck down to the bottom tier, with 'Rangers Football Club' etched, graffiti style, on a big banner along the front.
The teams are out, the pre-match Europa League anthem is blaring, and we're good to go here at Ibrox.
Bring. It. On.
The players are out.
Rangers in blue, Betis in green and white.
I'm sure they'll be welcomed with open arms.

You might look at the group and expect Rangers to get through, and they have a good opportunity.
The home games are vitally important. Nothing is decided on the first day of the group, but it can give a platform to build on. You don't want to be chasing your tail. A draw wouldn't be disastrous tonight.
Betis are the strongest team in the group on paper.
Kenny Miller
Former Rangers striker on Scottish Football Podcast
This will be Rangers' biggest test, even with it at home. I remember the Betis team that played against Celtic a couple of seasons ago, and it was two fantastic games.
They will look to attack and score goals. It's hard to judge where Rangers are in relation to Betis, but they'll come and it'll be the sternest task in this group.
Rangers will be favourites, because they are the top seeds and they're at home, but Betis will be coming here to win.
It's a home game, and you can put good teams under real pressure at Ibrox. If you're constantly on the front foot, you're aggressive and you get 50,000 fans behind you, then magic things can happen.

In their last two home European matches, Rangers found the net four times against Servette and PSV Eindhoven.
The last time Real Betis faced Scottish opposition a couple of years ago in this competition, they put four past Celtic in Seville but conceded three before losing 3-2 at Celtic Park in the return fixture.
Neck on the line here: This won't be 0-0 tonight.

After getting a battering at the hands of Barcelona at the weekend, Real Betis manager Manuel Pelligrini shuffles the deck.
The experienced coach makes six changes, with Rui Silva, Chadi Riad, Juan Miranda, Sergi Altimira, Willian Jose and Ayoze Perez all dropping out.
They're replaced by Claudio Bravo, German Pezzella, Abner Vinicius, Guido Rodriguez, Abde Ezzalzouli and Borja Iglesias.

We'll have more reaction from Frankfurt as it drops.
In the meantime, our attention turns to Govan.

I thought it was an excellent performance from Aberdeen. They'll be disappointed.
Overall, I think Barry Robson and his players will be very proud of that performance.

That Sokler chance was the one they were waiting for. He just put too much on it.
Barry Robson had his head in his hands. Sokler had his head in his head in his hands.
That was the chance.

Barry Robson's substitutions almost turned the game around. Frankfurt took their foot off the gas, but Aberdeen made positive subs.
For a brief moment, we saw what Duk was capable of. Nothing came of the good chances which is really disappointing.
Aberdeen, fair play. What an effort.
A Robin Koch header breaks Dons hearts in Frankfurt.
Barry Robson can take so much pride from that performance though.
Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 Aberdeen
That might be it.
Eintracht win a foul deep in their half.
Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 Aberdeen
Duk wrestles his way to the bye-line and fizzes on across goal but it misses everyone.
Aberdeen are really going for this.
Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 Aberdeen
THAT WAS IT! THAT WAS THE CHANCE!
The free-kick comes back across the face of goal and drops for Ester Sokler, who slices a glorious effort wide of the top-right corner.
Ahhhh.
Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 Aberdeen
Eintracht clear but they've given away another free-kick for clip on Jonny Hayes.
This is in a promising position...
Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 Aberdeen
Aberdeen have throw deep in Eintracht's half.
It's going to go in long...
Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 Aberdeen
The clock has hit 90.
The Aberdeen fans are in fine voice.
Up goes the board. FIVE minutes added.
Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 Aberdeen
All of a sudden, Aberdeen are winning set pieces.
There's a moment in this for them. They just need one.
