Yep, although the Rangers didn't deserve it..Fiorentina were the better side. Would be ideal to switch the venues of both Cups. Zenit now has to travel to Manchester, while both Chelsea and ManUtd must travel to Moskow.
Sorry, Rangers deserved because they played to a plan - what made me laugh was the Fiorentina coach criticise Rangers for playing defensively! I'm sorry, but coming from an Italian, who's teams are world reknowned for their defensive play, that's a bit rich! "Pot", "kettle" and "black" spring to mind...
The fact is, Rangers are coming to the end of an extraordinarily long season and a lot of their players are knackered, but are still in 3 competitions both domestically and in Europe, and they knew their limitations and turned them to their strength. They turned up, set out their stall and said "break us down" - make the opposition work harder, and it paid off
