Rangers will primarily look to defend and hope to nick one on the break, but in their semi final with Fiorentina I think they amassed 2 shots on target i the entire 210 minutes of play and yet they somehow managed to make it through. Incredible.

I would be wary of lumping on zenit however, yes man for man zenit are by far the superior side but Rangers have shown that unfortunately playing anti-football can somehow be succesful and it wouldnt surprise me in the slightest if this game went to pens.

If Zenit score first, and score early, it could be a great night for football and they could go on to win by 3 or 4. If its still 0-0 by the 60 min mark I would be wary of pens or, God forbid, a rangers win (feel dirty even typing that).

My bet however is Zenit to win to nil at 12/5 with skybet.

Gd luck Zenit, and gd luck to all punters who back them

Not just the battering of Bayern, but they have quality throughout the team, Rangers have done well to get to the final (and I want them to win), but they were holding on against Fioentina and I do not think St Petersberg will be quite so forgiving when the time comes.
Both teams have good defense, and Rangers were tough to break down.
Its always hard to go to Russia on an away leg and Manchester will be different and in Rangers favour but just think Zenit will be too stron and I'm surprised about the odds, and am gonna take it

its not just B.Munich they've dispatched, won easily against Leverkusen and Marseille, not the worst teams in the world, Rangers have managed to do enough to get through each round, technically the Russians are a much better squad, Arshavin will be a key player tonight.

Zenit have played some very good attacking football and look to them to finally open up a defence minded Rangers side that have offered little in attack in their last few UEFA Cup games.
