Zenit St. Petersburg have been the surprise package of the UEFA Cup this season, but a number of impressive displays means they are favourites going into this encounter. Having knocked out Marseille and Bayer Leverkusen in earlier rounds their semi-final second leg rout of favourites Bayern Munich was a brilliant victory. Dick Advocaat will face his old side who have been dogged and determined in this competition so far. Walter Smith's side have won just two games but have battled against superior opposition as was illustrated by their penalty shoot-out win against Fiorentina in the semi-finals. Tiredness has clearly creeped in to the Rangers players as they have chased a quadruple and they may well spend much of the final defending, but they will be buoyed by the news that Zenit's star striker Pavel Pogrebnyak is missing due to suspension.
