UEFA Cup Final Betting

The UEFA Cup final betting has Rangers as the outsiders for their UEFA Cup Final clash against Zenit St Petersburg according to bookie Paddy Power. Walter Smith's men are 6/5 to lift the cup to Zenit's 8/13 and 11/5 to have won the game in the regulation 90 minutes of normal time. However with more than 100,000 fans expected in Manchester it's a huge night for the blue half of Glasgow and Paddy Power have a wide range of bets on the 3/1 quadruple hopefuls.

Despite the quadruple still being on Rangers have been criticised this season for playing negative football. Slightly bemused that a team who have seen off Lyon, Fiorentina, Sporting Lisbon and others this season might be criticised, Paddy Power are betting on how many goals Rangers score in 90 minutes with one goal being the favourite at 11/8.

Rangers will also be meeting a couple of old boys in the Final and Paddy Power are offering 11/1 that former Rangers captain Fernando Ricksen scores against his old team and 150/1 that Zenit's manager Dick Advocaat watches the game wearing a kilt in a nod to his former club.

With the final taking place at The City of Manchester Stadium, home of Manchester City, Paddy Power are also betting on who will be the first to roll out the usual "I'm in Manchester" PR stunt and be pictured pulling a pint from behind the bar of the famous Rover's Return. Rangers manager Walter Smith is the 3/1 favourite (the same price as winning the quadruple), The Gers' most famous fan Sean Connery is 7/2 whilst Russia's new President and Zenit St Petersburg supporter Dimitry Medvedev is the 20/1 outsider.
