(Reuters) - Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst said Aaron Ramsey had shown courage in putting his hand up to take a penalty in the Europa League final against Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday after the midfielder was the only player to miss from the spot.

Ramsey, on loan from Juventus, was brought on in the 117th minute with the game level at 1-1 but had his spot kick saved by Kevin Trapp as Eintracht won 5-4 on penalties to end their 42-year wait for a European title.

"Aaron was disappointed but he took responsibility to take the penalty and you can make it or miss it. Unfortunately he didn't make it but you want to have players who are comfortable taking penalties." "Of course we had a big chance in the end," said former Dutch international Van Bronckhorst."I think it was a great save. In those minutes towards the end of the game it is decisive.
