Reaching a European final is not an everyday thing, so many things have happened along the way that 2008 is not that far away, but there it is, already like a snapshot of what could have been possible. I am not going to talk today about the bottom tier of Scottish football, those difficult years that we had to fill with something to get back where we belonged. The impressive title 55 that I randomly choose as a prologue to recent times.
Not everyone reaches a final, you can imagine the number of clubs that want to be there that day, play, sing, lose their voices shouting a goal, fighting to keep that trophy. Seeing our club there is already a huge achievement. Make no mistake, I am not a conformist, from the first day that Rangers appeared in my life, I understood that the DNA of this club is about trophies, glory. It's the legacy we grew up with. This is not the end of the road, no, not at all, history will continue to be written, remembering each one of those who were there to leave their mark. This is one of those relevant moments that each generation of Rangers fans live as their own, the one that we will keep in our memory for the rest of our lives, it is what we will tell our grandchildren or whoever sees us with a light blues top on the street . Seville, like Manchester or Barcelona, Florence, these days also Dortmund are and will be the landscape where Rangers write their European stories, for better, for worse. I remember that year, 1992, Rangers looked like a speeding train across Europe, Battle of Britain with Leeds and then that group to get to the final that didn't go. It was for Marseille in the end, but my father, who at that time did not understand why I followed Rangers and not his local team. Seeing my frustration, he told me "life is long enough for you to see Rangers win something big" and he didn't say anything else. Hopefully on Wednesday I can greet my father in heaven and tell him, we got it.You who can, go to Seville and show what this club is capable of, how impressive its crowd is.
