Glasner urges Crystal Palace to win final and take up rightful Europa League place

• Palace were demoted to Conference League by Uefa

• Wednesday night’s final in Leipzig is Glasner’s last game

Oliver Glasner has urged Crystal Palace to win the Conference League final so they can take up the Europa League place denied them this season after they fell foul of Uefa’s multi-club ownership rules.

Last year’s FA Cup winners were demoted to the Conference League after Uefa deemed John Textor had a controlling interest in Palace and Lyon, who had also qualified for the secondary competition. The south London club will face Rayo Vallecano in Leipzig on Wednesday night at the end of their first European campaign in Glasner’s last match.
