Bradford co-owner Edin Rahic thinks it's no coincidence his club reached the League One play-off final a year after he took over

Bradford co-owner Edin Rahic says it would be "a dream come true" if the Bantams get promoted to the Championship at Wembley on the first anniversary of the club's takeover.

Bradford face Millwall on May 20, the date that the takeover of the club was completed last year, and Rahic told Sky Sports News HQ their initial aims are being realised.

"It's a fairy tale, and it really is great to be at Wembley on our first year anniversary. Wembley was the aim when we took over, and maybe it is written in the stars."

Rahic and Stefan Rupp bought Bradford just a few days after the club were knocked out of the play-offs by Millwall at the semi-final stage last May, and he believes that could work in Bradford's favour this time around.

"There is more pressure on Millwall after their defeat in the final last year. We have a great chance to get promoted but it is important we stay focused."

Rahic and Rupp will joined by family and friends from Germany for the play-off final which is expected to be played in front of a bumper crowd.

Rahic admits the outcome of the game will determine their strategy for next season.
