Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner spoke ahead of the match: "Our main strength is our unity; we have a great team spirit. Winning would be a great achievement."

"All the teams that make it to the final have earned it, because the road is long: you have to win a lot of games. With Borussia Dortmund and Leipzig, Rangers have knocked out two top Bundesliga teams in two games. That shows that they are very good and also that they are well prepared for German soccer, so I expect a very close and tight game. Both teams are very physical; British soccer is very physical."

"We can't influence what Rangers do, but we can influence what we do, how we play, what we set out to do and how we put it into practice. I want to win based on our strengths and not on the opponent's weaknesses. That's how we are preparing. Of course we respect Rangers a lot, and it will be important to know how they play, how they attack, but the most important thing is what we set out to do."

"There were a lot of changes in the summer. Some important players left and new ones came in; it took us a few weeks to be able to develop together how we wanted to play. At the end of last autumn we noticed that a lot of things were going in the right direction and that we were competitive against all the top teams. We won in Munich against Bayern and also in the Europa League against Olympiacos, when we realized that with that performance we could achieve something big."

"For me, as a coach, it's the highlight of my career. I have been told that I would become the second Austrian coach to win a European trophy after Ernst Happel (who won the European Cup with Feyenoord in 1970 and with Hamburg in 1983). He is the greatest Austrian coaching legend, it would be an extraordinary achievement for me. But for Eintracht, for the fans, for the club, for the players (bringing the trophy home 42 years after the 1980 UEFA Cup final) would be the most important thing."

"When you talk about Europe here, you immediately get a smile on your face and there's a lot of fun and joy. Obviously, that is transmitted to us in the stadium with the atmosphere and the support. It has an extraordinary meaning, a great meaning, and that's why we're going to do our best to go home with the trophy and spend a night or two celebrating with our fans."

"It gave us a lot of self-confidence going into the playoffs. And, of course, we qualified against Betis in the 122nd minute, and then the two extraordinary games against Barcelona and we're still undefeated (since the start of the group stage). We have the chance to win a European trophy, the Europa League. At the beginning we didn't believe it, but now we firmly believe it's possible."
