Real Betis v Rangers (20:00)
Rory Loy
Former Rangers striker on Sportsound
The options available to Philippe Clement are extremely limited. This is about as strong a team as he could have put out.
Clearly there are players there that wouldn't be in the starting XI if everyone was fit, Cyriel Dessers and Sam Lammers fall into that category.
On paper it is not a strong looking Rangers team but it is just about all they could get out on the pitch.

Former Rangers midfielder on TNT Sports
I think this is Rangers' toughest game in the group.
They would have preferred to have come here with it already wrapped up.

Rangers manager Philippe Clement tells TNT Sports: "It's great to have the suport. The fans are giving energy to the team.
"There wasn't much choice [with team selection]. But it's a good experience for the academy players on the bench.
"We know we have European qualification secured but we're ambitious."

Jack Butland has been the best signing of the lot.
In fact, he might be Rangers' best signing for a few years. He's been outstanding.

Brian McLauchlin
BBC Scotland in Seville
Around 2,500 fans have made their way to Seville via trains, planes and automobiles.
Those of a certain age may remember a David Narey 'toe poke' against Brazil here at the World Cup in 1982.
Rangers won't care who scores tonight. Any sort of victory will do.

Real Betis v Rangers (20:00)
On the face of it, one win in four outings while sitting seventh in La Liga and already eight points adrift of the top four isn't great.
But the latest of those games was a 1-1 home draw with Real Madrid, a game manager Manuel Pellegrini thought they should have won.
If they had, it would have been a seventh successive home win.
Indeed, they are unbeaten at their own ground in 10 games this season, the last team to beat them there being Getafe in May.
Real Betis v Rangers (20:00)
While Aberdeen's European journey has come to an end, Rangers' will continue after Christmas.
The question is whether it will be in the Europa League or Conference League, and that's where it gets a bit confusing...
A win would be huge for Rangers. It would guarantee top spot, meaning they go straight into the last 16 of the Europa League. But if they fail to win, they'll need a favour from Aris as they host Sparta.
Second would still mean Europa League football next year, but they would be paired in a play-off with a Champions League dropout for a place in the last 16.
Worst case scenario, third offers a Conference League safety net.
Aye, I know, I know, it's a mess. But, don't worry, we'll cross every bridge when we come to it throughout the night. Hold tight.

There are a couple of great goals in there
Frankfurt had a lot of possession, but Aberdeen played the way they wanted to play.
Boy, did they look good on the break.

Once they've taken their applause and get back in that training room, all focus has to switch to the cup final.
That's the next goal.
Aberdeen 2-0 Eintracht Frankfurt
Aberdeen sign off with their first win in a European group stage in 16 years.
The perfect warm-up for Sunday's final at Hampden.
A fine performance against top opposition.
Aberdeen 2-0 Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht haven't offered anything in stoppage time.
Aberdeen have won this.

Aberdeen 2-0 Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht are trying to put pressure on but they can't create anything clear as the Dons' backline continues to stand firm.
Aberdeen 2-0 Eintracht Frankfurt
Stephen Craigan
Former Motherwell captain on TNT Sports
Over the six games, Aberdeen have deserved a result like this.
Things haven't always gone their way, but the determination they've shown to score in all six games has been great.
