'Devastated' Rangers skipper targets Cup consolation


Rangers captain James Tavernier says his "devastated" team-mates will use their Europa League hurt as motivation in the Scottish Cup final this weekend.

The Ibrox side dared to dream of victory in the final in Seville after Joe Aribo gave them the lead against Eintracht Frankfurt, but Rafael Santos Borre equalised to take the game into extra time and a penalty shootout, where Aaron Ramsey's miss proved the difference.

Tavernier said it was a tough way to lose the final.

"Devastated," he said. "Just devastated at the way the game unfolded

"We took the lead, you know, we conceded a goal which we should've done better on. Obviously the keeper makes a fantastic save with Ryan (Kent) towards the end and obviously saves the penalty

But, you know devastated is the word but I'm also proud of every single one that is associated with Rangers.

"Every single one of those players that's in the dressing room, the journey that we've been on, the fans that have followed us from everywhere
