Rangers, who beat Dundee United at Ibrox in a controversial match, won 3-1 in the end. They are now a point behind Celtic with three games to play. Celtic play one more game. For Rangers, St Mirren at Love Street will be tricky, as well as Aberdeen at Pittordrie on the last game of the season.

I must say the SPL need not take anymore beatings over the fixture debate, they have been astute and forward-thinking when coming up with a solution and have had a bad press here in Scotland.

Rangers should have presented a viable solution to the end of the season themselves, one that took in all parties' needs as well as their own. 

But yes, it is the week that sees Scotland have a team in the UEFA Cup Final once more! We hosted Sevilla at Hampden last year and now we have a team in it ourselves.

Kudos to Rangers, no matter the style of victory, the result counts more. The colossus leagues of Serie A, EPL and La Liga have no representatives in the final, but the small nation of Scotland does.

I do not settle on this alone. Let's win it and beat those Russians. I wish you the best of luck Rangers and that from a Celtic fan is really something.

Zenit are in the Golden age? Many say they peaked maybe two seasons back in terms of exciting playing style. Like Rangers, they will sit back and counter. How is this going to be? Could it be the worst final since Red Star and Real Madrid? Who cares?

Come on Rangers, and as a Celtic fan I can only say that line if I also put the next line in...come on Scotland, ha ha.
