    I think Rangers to win 1-0 or else on penalties after 0-0.

    Zenit played the game of their lives against Bayern, so hardly likely to play another game of their lives a few weeks later.

    The quadruple for Rangers is looking a distinct possibility.

    Doubt the pensioners could last another 120 minutes to be honest.

    Should be an interesting game. What i predict is Rangers to use the analogy "park a bus in front of their goal". Arshavin is the main threat tonight, it's a pity Prognbak(can't spell his name lol) is suspended their top goalscorer. If Zenit play like they did against Bayern, Rangers haven't a chance.

    Obviously I hope Zenit win, even though their fans are a nasty bunch as well.

    0-0 and lottery in extra time I think.

    Hope Zenit win also, think Rangers will do it though.

    Couple of quid down on a 1-0 Rangers win. Darcheville to get the goal.

    If rahgers win it will be just as much of a crime against football as Liverpool winning the champions league 4 years ago or porto the year before, Anti-football should never be allowed to triumph.

    Controversial!

    But I can see where your coming from, Pool played very negatively until the final first time round what 3 years ago, different team now tho.

    Rangers play really negatively , which is fairly hard to watch.

    Well all respect for ITV commentators has just gone out the window. Scottish managers with success in europe and no mention of Shankly.

    Yes, yes I can.

    Liverpool got to the final that year by playing anti-football and rangers have done the same thing this year.

    It's a crime that fiorentina aren't in the final.

    Rangers may as well have just played 10 centre backs and a keeper in the last match.

    It would be a crying shame if Rangers poxed their way through this game. Zenit are a joy to watch, they are the only team trying to play. I do hope we see them in the CL next year.

    And yeah, I'm not saying Liverpool are the same now or last season, just the year they won it, OMFG they were terrible to watch.

    If it is succesful who cares? Do you think the 100k+ Rangers fans in Manchester tonight will care about "Anti-Football" if they win?

    Zenith are a far superior team, everyone knows that. If Rangers come out to try and play against them they will be torn apart and humiliated, same as the game against Fiorentina.
