TWO former Oxford United stars have the chance to win a major European trophy tonight.

John Lundstram and Kemar Roofe will be aiming to help Rangers beat Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League final (8pm).

The duo were part of Michael Appleton’s promotion-winning U’s side of 2015/16.

Roofe, 29, was yesterday declared fit for the Seville showpiece after missing the last month through injury.

Midfielder Lundstram has become a key member of the Rangers side and scored the goal that took them to the final, against RB Leipzig in the semi-final second leg.

The former U’s teammates may well be the first players to feature in a major European final after appearing for the club.

Arsenal defender Nigel Winterburn arrived at United in the early 1980s, but did not get on the pitch for the first team before moving to AFC Wimbledon.

He went on to represent the Gunners in the 1994 and 1995 European Cup Winners’ Cup finals.

Steve McClaren, who was Middlesbrough manager for the 2006 UEFA Cup final, made 40 appearances for the U’s between 1989 and 1992.

Strangely enough, several U's bosses featured in major finals during their playing days.

Graham Rix and Brian Talbot managed United in the early 2000s and started for Arsenal in the 1980 European Cup Winners' Cup final defeat to Valencia.

Five years later, Ian Atkins - another U's boss in the first few seasons at the Kassam Stadium - was on the bench for Everton against Rapid Vienna in the same competition.

It came as Mark Lawrenson, who managed United in 1988, played in successive European Cup finals for Liverpool in 1984 and 1985.
