Just seen the news , Scumchester has been invaded by 100K bears and it looks superb!

Fingers crossed for tonight, i really fancy them if im honest.

Lets hope part one of our very blue week starts here and the first steps are made towards THAT game in Monaco!

We all agree...

WATP

Rangers are gonna have to figure out how to score goals. They haven't conceded much, but they haven't scored too many either. Zenit on the other hand has been scoring for fun with 4-0 over Bayern München in the semis and 4-1 over Leverkusen in the quarter finals. Advocaat should know how to play against a Scottish team, so Zenit must be confident going into tonight's match.

Sorry, but I can't really bring myself to join in this Rangers love-fest.

I'd rather see a team who at least showed a modicum of ambition to even score a goal win. By all accounts Zenit are good counter attacking team, but I can't see that being much use against Rangers, who are unlikely to do any attacking that could be countered.

I'm pretty sure that I read Rangers have reached the final by winning 4 out of 14 games! I think they need to look at the structure of the UEFA Cup fairly urgently.

Rangers get my support, i want to see all silverware this side of the channel please.

Totally unfair calling it that mate. They are a British team and most of us here are British, so I'd expect Rangers to get most of the support, I dont see how thats a 'love-fest'.

I don't mind if Rangers win it tonight, but I've been much more impressed by Zenit's football this season than what I've seen from Rangers and St. Petersburg is practically next door, so they get my sympathy as well. I just hope it will be a good match and Rangers don't just park the bus infront of the goal.

Its quite possible with the away goal ruling. You can draw all your games in knock out stages and still reach the final. I don't think there is much difference in the structures of UEFA Cup or UCL, just that there are more teams in the former in group stage. I don't hate away goal rule for nothing.

Just my interpretation, not so much from this thread but from a few others I've seen. I think that they have been so negative in their football and I don't really want to see it rewarded.

The fact they are British is irrelevant to me. This is club football not international.

Keep the Blue Flag flying high!!!

Hello Hello, how do you do,

We are the boys, in Royal Blue,

Where e'er we go,

We fear no foe,

We'll keep the blue flag

Flying high,

Oh flying high up in the sky,

We'll keep the blue flag flying high,

Where e'er we go, we fear no foe,

We'll keep the blue flag flying high.

There is a team, a Glasgow team,

Who's colours they are white and green,

But when they meet the boys in blue,

They simply don't know what to do.

Oh flying high up in the sky,

We'll keep the blue flag flying high,

Where e'er we go, we fear no foe,

We'll keep the blue flag flying high

RULE BRITANNIA

COME ON THE BEARS!!!

good luck tonight boys. just had a phone call of a mate in manchester who said theirs jocks everywhere having a party. the m60 is rammed and he nearly run 3 rangers fans over who sprinted out of a pub to bare their arse in the middle of a street. hes chelsea though, so he shouted he was a chelsea fan and good luck for tonight and they almost dragged him out of his car and into the pub for a beer with them....

Rangers will play in their away kit, right? At least on UEFA's site Zenit is the "home" team.

Good luck to Rangers tonight. I can't see them winning tonight but then again I said that before the Fiorentina game so

Weird...apparently no channel is showing the match live here.

Sorry, but I can't really bring myself to join in this Rangers love-fest.

Well dont post then. Post about important thing like the new chelsea kit if you want. I dont give two sh*ts how they got to the final. THEY GOT THERE SO DEAL WITH IT .

Ive heard Scumchester city centre has run out of booze and Ibrox was full for the beamback at 4pm!

CMON THE BEARS

Listening live on BBC

CMON THE GERS!!!

SORRY 1 CLUB ONLY, PREFER THEM TO CELTIC, BUT THATS IT.

Zenit's has had 7 or 8 shots already. And rangers are giving the ball away.

It is like the second leg against Fiorentina all over again. Rangers lucky not to concede a penalty right at the end of the 1st half.

Zenit 1-0

---[edit]----

Now it's 2-0

Hard to argue with the result - Rangers upped their game slightly in the second half but were largely second best throughout.

A mention for all the fans, 10/10.

Can't win anything just defending and praying for luck. Must be honest and say that's how they beat Fiorentina and got to the final just by doing so, but it won't always work.

There are some stories emerging that Rangers fans clashed with police in Manchester city centre when one of the jumbo screens broke down. Nothing confirmed yet and no idea if it is hundreds thousands of just a handful of fans.

I read about bottles being thrown, but nothing about how many were involved.

Byt the way...after having looked at some pictures at Getty Images, I noticed something I've been often wondering about when I see fans of Scottish clubs at matches(pictures or on television). How come there's always masses of Union Jack's brought along by the fans, but very few Saint Andrew's Crosses to be seen, if any at all. Why is that?
