Rangers face Frankfurt tonight in a Europa League final that has all the hallmarks of a classic. They're the two highest scoring teams in the tournament and each has got here by toppling European heavyweights while staying true to an exciting brand of full-blooded, pacey football. Better yet, this clash sees James Tavernier and Filip Kostić, the competition's two outstanding players, trade blows down the same flank. Follow our guide on how to watch a Eintracht Frankfurt vs Rangers live stream from anywhere, including FREE coverage of the 2022 Europa League Final.

Rangers have stuck with the same XI that got them to the final, which means they start with no recognized striker. It's up to rangy centre-midfielder Joe Aribo to fill the Alfredo Morelos-shaped hole up front, though Kemar Roofe, who's been sidelined for weeks with a knee injury, has been named on the bench.

Austrian centre-back Martin Hinteregger limped out of Frankfurt's semi, and he hasn't recovered in time for the final. Almamy Touré starts in his absence, while Jesper Lindstrøm slots in for Jens Petter Hauge in the engine room, making his long-awaited return from a hamstring injury.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men have already stunned two German clubs in the knockouts, chalking up famous wins over Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig. That's unlikely to faze Oliver Glasner, though, who's led Eintracht Frankfurt to victories over Barcelona, West Ham and Seville natives Real Betis.

Tavernier, Rangers' skipper and right-back, is the top scorer in the Europa League this season, while Kostić, Frankfurt's marauding left-back, is the tournament's assist king. And the opposite flank looks set to serve up another swashbuckling battle, between the Gers' wing wizard Ryan Kent and the Eagles' Ansgar Knauff, who's become a talismanic figure for Frankfurt this season.

Rangers' talisman, top scorer Morelos, is out of action having recently undergone surgery for a thigh issue, while Frankfurt's own Colombian goal-getter, Rafael Borré, leads the line for the German club. Pumped? You're not the only one. Read on for all the information on how to watch an Eintracht Frankfurt vs Rangers live stream from anywhere in the world today.
