I NOTICE ALOT OF YANKS MAKING NOISES BOUT RANGERS.
NO OFFENCE BUT THE US “SOCCER” FANS ARE WATCHING WSHED UP N WASHED OUT IMPORTS WEEK AFTER WEEK AND WOULD DO WELL TO BEAT RANGERS IN A COMPETATIVE MATCH.

IN RESPONSE TO CRAMMIN SEVEN PLAYERS IN THE BOX ETC ETC.
RANGERS FC HAVE MAID IT TO THE FINAL BY HARD WORK AND PLAYING AS A TEAM.

NO ONE SAID ANYTHING BOUT MAN UTD GETTING ONE GOAL AGAINST BARCA AT OLD TRAFFORD THEN PUTTING TEN MEN BEHIND THE BALL.

DIG IN HOLD TIGHT GET YOUR CHANCE TAKE IT

IF YOU ARE PLAYING A BETTER CLASSED TEAM YOUR GONAE GET DOMINATED.

BEAT THEM HOWEVER YOU CAN

Shazback, I can always count on readers of this blog to fill me in on the details that the English-speaking press doesn’t want to touch.

I was aware that it was early in the season and that Zenit had a game in hand, but wasn’t aware of the timing for qualification for European competitions. And what you say about resting players in league play to do well in Europe makes a lot of sense.

Thanks for clarifying the situation.

I cant wait for the UEFA cup final. I watched Zenit for the first time against Bayern and was very impressed. They seemed to keep possession and complete passes effortlessly. However, I did end up turning the channel over whilst watching Rangers (missing the penalties).

I hope rangers win the final, as the possibility of a quadruple is an amazing feat. Also, as a Manchester united fan, I would like to play Rangers in the Super Cup.

Laurie, Zenit are 12th (out of 16), but they’ve only played 6 games out of 30, and should they win their game in hand, then they’ll go 6th or 7th depending on goal difference… Zenit were Russian champions 2007 (so they’ll play in next season’s Champions’ League, because the Russian league qualifies for a whole year later in UEFA competitions), and this season, although they’ve only taken 7 points in 6 games, they’ve only lost one game… Zenit dropped points by fielding “B” sides in order to stay in the running in the UEFA Cup. Sure, Kazan look uncatchable (21 points in 7 games, perfect record so far), but Zenit still are very strong contestants for the second place… They win their game in hand and they’re 6th, and only 4 points off Lokomotiv’s current 2nd place. When the UEFA Cup is over, they’ll stop resting players, and probably get “back to business” (perhaps a few squad changes, but with Gazprom’s backing, a fresh UEFA Cup in the trophy cabinet if they win and a sure participation in the next Champions league, I doubt they’ll be greatly weakened)… And “back to business” for the current champions is often a winning streak.
