Rangers make push for UEFA glory


Walter Smith wants Rangers to make the most of their chance for Uefa cup glory in Manchester tomorrow.  Manchester is expecting upwards of 100,000 Rangers fans who do not have tickets for the game.  All of the hotel rooms in Manchester have been booked.  A Caravan of over 100 cars left Ibrox this morning adorned in Ranger's Blue and White.  They will snake their way down to Manchester in time for the game tomorrow.  Walter Smith said "This season has been terrific for us so far and we've got opportunities to make it even better,"  Tomorrow Rangers will be going for their second trophy out of a possible 4.  They have already won the League Cup, and they will contest for the Uefa Cup, the Scottish Cup, and the SPL title.  Smith is happy just to be this far in Europe.  "The European competition is obviously not one we thought we would get as far in, so it's a nice surprise."  He also will not overplay his competitions success and the challenge it will present.  "Zenit have also had a terrific season, won their championship and find themselves in the final too. It will be a very difficult game."  The kick off is set for 2:45 ET.  Coverage on Fox Soccer Channel starts at 2:30 ET.  Enjoy the game!
