another team in green and white 3rd in a row....

c'mon the gers

Rangers will face Sporting Lisbon in the quarter-finals of the Uefa Cup.
Should Walter Smith's side progress at the expense of the Portuguese they would face PSV Eindhoven or Fiorentina for a place in the final.

The first leg of the quarter-final will take place at Ibrox on Thursday 3 April, with the return leg in Lisbon seven days later.

The Ibrox club secured their place in the last eight after defeating German outfit Werder Bremen 2-1 on aggregate.

Speaking before the draw was made in Nyon, Smith said his side would have to be at their best to make further progress in the tournament.

In the other quarter-final ties, Bayer Leverkusen take on FC Zenit St Petersburg, Bayern Munich face Getafe and Fiorentina versus PSV Eindhoven.

The semi-finals will take place on 24 April and 1 May, with the final scheduled for 14 May at the City of Manchester stadium.

I would actually fancy Fiorentina against PSV personally.

I think the final will be Fiorentina v Bayern Munich.

man utd were also fav to win the champions league this morning, now arsenal are.

lets just wait and see what happens. As a spurs fan, I can say that having high hopes is almost as bad as expecting England to win every major footballing competition it enters

You dont have to be the better footballing side to get through ties. You just have to get the tactics right and work like fook. Now Rangers are very good at that, so dont write them off.
